I Don't Get It was beaten a long way at Wexford on Friday after scoring for the first time at Downpatrick on his 42nd start. Weddell Sea had some decent form on the Flat in France without winning and has done well over hurdles, following a narrow defeat at Limerick with an easy success at Roscommon. He gets the age allowance from the older horses and Dartington has an extra penalty for his two victories which makes this tougher. Churchtown Ruby attempted to make all at Downpatrick but weakened quickly when headed at the last but TOM MCGREEVY is in top form and had a subsequent winner in third when scoring at Ballinrobe in May. Barbaha Queen was having just her third start over timber when battling to victory at Clonmel.
