It's difficult to say whether Frankie Flowers would have clung on for victory had he stayed on his feet at Tipperary but he would have gone close and the front-runner should be out of trouble here at the front end. However, we'll take him on with SLIM TO NONE, who was given a canny ride to beat Our Girl Lucy over a slightly longer trip at Killarney and may be capable of a little more. Cnoc Seoda isn't badly handicapped but Irish Poli blotted his copybook at Ballinrobe last time and has a bit to prove now while Any Bets hasn't sparkled lately.
