Ask And Answer gained the only hurdles victory of his career in this race two years ago and is 6lb lower. Definiteadare scored over 2m5f at Limerick before finding 2m3f just too short on a return visit four days later though has yet to prove he stays this far. SEANGOELL also scored at Limerick, over 2m6f, before a good run back there from 6lb higher then found 2m1f much too short at Ballinrobe. A winning point-to-pointer, this should be her trip and she can get back to winning ways. Added Bonus looked the likely winner when taking it up two out over 2m6f at Limerick but was caught on the line. If ridden with more restraint here, he'll be a threat on that form.
