Jessica Harrington has won this several times in recent years but Citizenship will need to show more than he has in his two starts over hurdles to play his part. High Desert ran well in this last year but has been beaten a distance in three subsequent events and Noble Pageant has only shown moderate form in bumpers. Benny's Fagartha showed a glimmer of ability on his bumper debut at Navan a year ago and is much more likely to make a jumper but FAHAMORE looks the one to be on. Edward Harty's son of Kayf Tara attracted a little support on his debut in a Sligo maiden in May and ran well enough behind Shady Pines to suggest he'd be up to winning a race of this nature.
