Ain't That A Shame and Ballyshannon Rose are both smart and will be winning soon but return from long breaks in this very competitive event. DONKEY YEARS is another with a long absence to overcome but his trainer targets races here and the eight-year-old produced a tremendous effort to score at Punchestown in April. Tullybeg, a progressive novice, makes his handicap debut over fences after impressing at Wexford but had earlier finished behind Mi Lighthouse at Limerick and is no better off. Pat Coyne is very consistent at a lower level while Kitty Galore's recent victory was over hurdles as was Snugsborough Benny's run here on Monday.
