PERFECT LEADER (NAP) has been in fine form all year, scoring here and at Leopardstown over fences before taking advantage of a lenient hurdles mark here earlier this month. He'll take some beating though Arch Melody has to be a threat at the weights as though his recent victory here was over 2m4f he was always travelling like a winner. Motcomb Street has been running quite well but he's 0-16 while Ask Harry hasn't shown much since arriving from the point-to-point fields. Billy's Angel has won a bumper but has never scored over jumps.
