Beidh Tine Anseo has had several opportunities to end his losing run and the fitting of blinkers here smacks of desperation while a penalty will make life tough for Friday's Ayr winner Cool Baranca. Nine Stories is back on a winning mark but there hasn't been a lot of encouragement in his last two runs and he has to give 3lb to SILVERLORD. After three promising runs on the Polytrack at Dundalk, there wasn't a lot wrong with his reappearance over hurdles at Limerick earlier this month and the easier ground today will suit. Parson's Punch and King's Chorister are yet to prove themselves in this grade but are in form and still at the right end of the handicap.
