Roscommon third Rodriguez has won on the Flat and over hurdles and looks a likely sort for a race like this. Winning pointer Ballyhampshire Man won't fail through lack of stamina while the mare Nearly A Dream has also won plenty between the flags. Present Potential was second in a handicap at Kilbeggan two runs ago but BEEF TO THE HEELS has more scope than any of these and, after a couple of sighters in better races, looks poised to get open his account over the larger obstacles with Won In The Dark looking a light of former days.
