Any Bets enjoyed the quicker ground at Down Royal and won't have those conditions here but his 8lb rise is virtually wiped out by his rider's claim. MOUNTAIN LOUGH had been racing between the flags and in hunter chases before a very impressive success at Killarney when well supported and he's probably on a low enough mark to complete a double. Kilflora is running well without quite getting there and continues to climb the weights and last year's winner Norther Bay is badly out of form. Gonebeyondrecall likes this track and a recent placed effort at Killarney signals a likely big run here.
