Plenty of runners here but few with realistic chances. Amongst the latter contingent must be FEAST OR FAMINE, an impressive winner of a 2m2f bumper on polytrack at Dundalk before finding Sligo's two miles on the short side when reverting back to hurdles earlier this month. Tir Na Gcapall wasn't far behind in the latter race and will have come on for the run, her first since August. Winning point-to-pointer Ag Dul Suas didn't run badly in a handicap at Gowran last time and won't find this as tough while False Messenger makes her debut over timber having already been successful between the flags and in a bumper at Wexford.
