Bomber Jackson, three times a winner on the All-weather, has been placed several times over hurdles but looks very moderate. Winning bumper LICKLIGHTER started favourite over this course and distance in August and looked to be going well enough when falling two out. He should have the edge over Ard Na Carraig, who finished third, and can defy a long absence. Top Othe Ra has been placed five times in ten starts over hurdles, most of them handicaps, so has to be a threat to all, while Movingswiftlyalong made a promising start at Roscommon a couple of weeks ago and is certain to have benefited from the run.
