Winning point-to-pointer and bumper Its Ironic makes his handicap debut over timber and may be a few pounds high in the weights while Coosan Belle was raised 9lb for winning on very fast ground here in August. Point The Toes scored at the same meeting and returned to winning ways over a trip too short at Downpatrick, but she hasn't run so well when there has been give in the ground. Fitzgutentyte has now run 16 times over timber without winning yet continues to climb the ratings due to her consistency and Irish Poli may need the run after a long absence. GOLAN GUY attempts an unusual hat-trick having won on the Flat and on his chasing bow last month. He's in such good heart at present that he can take advantage of what looks a very lenient hurdles mark.
