Derinlaur last won over hurdles on this track in 2010 but landed a chase at Tipperary when last seen in August. He reappears on an 18lb lower mark over timber and must be on the short-list. Winning point-to-pointer Its All Hush Hush has never won in 14 starts under Rules and is high enough in the weights while Western Bound shot up the ratings after completing a double at Perth last May and has never recovered. SADDLENOMORE was making her handicap debut when sauntering home at Limerick last week and providing she handles the quicker terrain a 12lb rise shouldn't prevent a quick follow-up.
