UNIC DE BERSY will be a short price here and though he was beaten when odds-on at Tipperary he probably found the ground too quick and didn't jump well. His earlier form entitles him to the vote though Young Dillon, a very easy bumper winner here in August, can do better than he showed on his hurdling debut at Cork. Ibsen has been very disappointing and All Day Long has been running poorly over hurdles and fences. Admiral Brian has been inconsistent but would have a chance on his close second to Black Ice at Limerick in December.
