Second Glance went close on a couple of occasions over hurdles and jumped well enough on her chasing debut when second at Sligo late last month. She is an obvious contender here with that run under her belt. Paddy O Dee was runner-up on his debut over the larger obstacles over a slightly longer trip here in June but appears to have gone backwards since and more interesting is Spill The Beans, a winner over hurdles at Tramore last time. But this may be an opportunity for ROCKYS CHOICE to open his account over fences as he's gradually been getting his act together after an inauspicious start and was best at around this distance over hurdles.
