Tony Martin is represented by last months Navan winner Spacious Sky and Buy Back Bob, who has ability but doesn't win as often as he should. DICK DUNDEE had improved dramatically over fences before his two recent falls and can revert to hurdling on a massive 38lb lower mark so he looks the one to be on. Noah Webster followed an impressive hurdling debut victory with a fair run in a better race at Gowran while a 7lb rise shouldn't pose too much of a problem for Emily Gray, who was always travelling nicely when completing a double at Gowran.
