In depth
Verdict
JOESWAYORNOWAY gained her first victory over fences at Killarney when looking to have a bit in hand so a 5lb rise looks manageable. Winning hurdler Dreamsrmadeofthis has only had two runs over fences and might just need this after a long absence but Where's Bunny arrives in good form having won over timber at Clonmel last month and is 4lb lower over fences. Cluan Dara has been beaten a long way since scoring at Limerick in July and Alexharwill is 0-18.
