It's a surprise that Conor Orr can still claim 4lb in these races given his successes last year and he's the regular partner of BRIDGE NATIVE, who very nearly made all at Gowran in November on similar going. Di Love's charge is certain to make another bold bid and gets the nod but six-times Flat winner Ming Dynasty has been beaten twice in handicaps and has gone up in the weights. British Art came good at the eighth time of asking over hurdles at Down Royal last week and wouldn't need much more to get into contention while Aoibhe's Beau has been given a break since following her maiden victory at Tramore with a good run in a Galway handicap. Eviscerating was having his first start for Joseph O'Brien when well supported at Navan but found the 2m6f too far and was soon beaten though better must have been expected.
