Enjoy Responsibility has reverted to hurdles on a much lower mark than over fences, though he couldn't take advantage at Fairyhouse last time. Dave's Stamper is still without a victory over hurdles after a dozen starts but has gone close on several occasions including at Navan last month. Westerner Point was having just his third start over timber when battling to victory in a Clonmel maiden and, though this is tougher, he's going the right way. Do Try Dolly ran her best race to date on heavy going at Thurles so any more rain would aid her cause but the vote goes to RAZIA. He scored over 2m4f at Cork in August and, with a fast pace anticipated in this big field, David Casey can bring his stamina into play.
