Verdict
Walter De La Mare was in superb form on the Flat at this time a year ago but hasn't done so well this year. His last run over hurdles at Tramore in April points to his chances here but BACK IN A TIC should have his measure. Colin Kidd's mare showed that soft ground was a requirement with a much improved run behind the useful Shadow Eile at Listowel and her allowance will help. Flycorn produced his best effort to date behind Frawley at Navan and looks a major threat while Hawkhill is entitled to respect as he ran well on the Flat at Gowran last month and is the type to do better over hurdles.
