In depth
Verdict
Tiantu won this last year then completed a double at Tramore but hasn't been in that kind of form. AN DROICHEAD EILE finished a close second on his chasing debut at Tipperary in July having won over timber earlier. He may have found 2m6f too far back over hurdles last time and can get off the mark over the bigger obstacles. Allardyce is on a long losing run though 15lb lower than his last winning mark but Blue Markie is 11lb higher than when scoring by 15l at Tramore in April. My Oakclahome ran very well over the course and distance last month but poorly at Tramore later while Carried, who won here in June, would have to be considered if getting a run from his reserve spot.
