The veteran Tomcoole Lad is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but he's now approaching fourteen. Flynsini went up 10lb for a very easy victory at Clonmel in May and hasn't run since but OFF THE CHARTS (NAP) arrives in top form having made a winning debut for new connections at Ballinrobe. He's been raised 4lb but is still 8lb lower than his hurdles mark so gets the nod to follow up. Ard Cregg has a shocking strike-rate of 1-35 and though very nearly doubling his winning tally at Downpatrick hardly looks one to have confidence in. Old Time Melody has yet to win over fences but with Bryan Cooper taking over the reins he looks to have a chance of going one better than when just failing to hold off Fenlon's Hill at Fairyhouse.
