Jealika won this last year and also scored at Listowel in September so should make a bold bid despite being 8lb higher. However, BARBEQUE was conceding 7lb in that Listowel event and with her young rider's claim taken into consideration should have few problems reversing the form at today's weights and gets the vote. Athloman Cottage is an obvious threat after a comfortable victory at Cork last month while No Way Jack is just 2lb higher than his victory here in October and will love the conditions. The latter ran well at Dundalk on his comeback and that will have put him straight for this. Clear Focus, disqualified after finishing first past at the Curragh in October, looks best of the remainder.
