This tricky handicap can go to IRISH POLI, who is 11lbs higher than when scoring at Downpatrick last October but his recent second to Carutomark at Bellewstown was a fine effort and he can defy his big weight and again take care of third-placed Mister Lucky. Long Wait has shot up the weights after two fine efforts at Perth though he's still a youngster in hurdling terms and has more to give. D Four Dave landed a real touch over the C&D last month for which the handicapper took a dim view and raised him 11lbs. Conor O'Dwyer's charge probably has improvement in him and looks a threat.
