The versatile Neverushacon has won around here and reverts to hurdles on a 12lb lower mark than over fences. Macgiloney beat Sang Tiger just over a length at Down Royal but the runner-up has much the better of the weights and should reverse the form. Eight And Bob, one of three from Willie Mullins' yard, has been in very good form on the Flat this summer and completed a Fairyhouse double over timber earlier in the year. He's 14lb higher than his last victory but it will be a surprise if he's not competitive. SKY MARSHAL was conceding Bothar Dubh 12lb when narrowly beaten over this trip at Listowel and is 6lb better off. He was then beaten a head by Line Out over 2m4f on the same track and with this longer trip in his favour can reverse the form and take this. Air Supremacy was staying on strongly in that latter event and the longer trip will suit while Roxboro Road looked one to follow when completing a double in the spring.
