Most of these have been running over jumps with Mr Moondance having won easily over hurdles at Downpatrick in June. Dual hurdles winner Josephina finished runner-up over fences at Wexford last week while SCHONE AUSSICHT completed a double over timber earlier in the summer and has produced two very good runs subsequently. Five times a winner on the Flat in France and Germany, she looks well enough handicapped to go in again. Perry Owens ran well over hurdles at Galway where he'd won in October while last year's winner Bright Flame is just 4lb higher and has only had two subsequent starts so has to be respected.
