Heliers Bay won a handicap at Ballinrobe a year ago from 6lb lower and made a promising start over fences at Tipperary last month. Secret Sea had been in very good form, scoring on the Flat at Ballinrobe in-between placed efforts over hurdles, before a poor run back on the level earlier this month which wasn't her form. Dazzling Darren has yet to reach a place over hurdles but has won twice on the Flat this summer including a Galway handicap last month. Willyouwalkwithme won at Downpatrick in June and was in touch back there last weekend when unseating his rider. WITHALLDUERESPECT (NAP) is on the upgrade, following a very good run at Downpatrick with a narrow defeat at Kilbeggan where she was in the lead on the run-in so looks the one to beat.
