Brogine likes it around here having scored twice on the track and has performed very well over hurdles and fences the last twice, especially behind the in-form The Trigger at Galway. Gordon Elliott has two entries with Tiger Twenty Two, very well suited by the trip and some give in the ground, getting the nod over the four-year-old Gealach. FAMOUS ESCAPE has a lot more to do than when landing a 2m6f maiden here by 15 lengths. She's taking on much stronger opposition but that was only her second start over timber and she starts out in handicaps on a fair mark. Kilkishen had been in good form before finishing lame at Gowran while Ashqar would have to be considered if getting a run from his reserve spot after Saturday's victory at Kilbeggan.
