B L Swagger has a penalty for his bumper victory and didn't run badly when reverting to hurdles last time after two poor runs over fences. Indian Road Runner is similarly penalised and fell at Fairyhouse but has plenty of scope and should put that mishap behind him. Dainty Diva has been very consistent in bumpers and got her just reward here in October but it's successful point-to-pointer BASHFUL BEAUTY who looks the one to be on. She made the odds-on Grand Partner pull out the stops at Cork last time and the winner has since gone on to land a much better race. Cacheofgold is another winner between the flags and though she disappointed when favourite on her hurdling bow at Sligo she should do better than that in time.
