Lady Of The Sea gained her only victory on this track though that was over 3m. Iamastartoo looks a bit high on what she's achieved to date but she'll be ready for this after a run on the Flat last month. Tagg's Island was having only his second start in well over two years when a good third at Downpatrick and Paul Townend takes the ride but all form points to PERFECT LEADER. Mags Mullins' charge, 0-16 over hurdles, has shown much improved form over fences scoring here and at Leopardstown and can revert to the smaller obstacles on an 18lb lower mark. Barna Venture was 13l behind the selection here in May and couldn't take advantage of a much lower hurdles mark at Roscommon.
