Winning point-to-pointer Definite Knockoff gained his first success under Rules when beating DRUMLISTER just over a length at Killarney on Saturday and arrives here with a 6lb penalty. There's more to come and Harley Dunne's claim will once again be utilised but the runner-up should have won easily and gets the vote to reverse the places. He jumped violently to the right at several hurdles and lost so much ground that he did well to finish as close as he did. Pretty Happy has won just once in 34 starts over timber but has dropped to a fair mark as a consequence and came close to doubling her tally at Tramore a month ago. Mirador Del Conde won a chase at Tipperary in June and can revert to hurdles on a 23lb lower mark while Dont Tell Pa made a bad mistake at the last at Tramore when last seen in June which scuppered his chances.
