Brog An Ri is generally thereabouts at this sort of level and the trip and ground will suit as it will for Kristal Komet, who kept on when headed after attempting to make all over this trip at Wexford. LUCKY SPRING won over hurdles at Sligo and was very unfortunate to come up against Bondage over this C&D at the end of last month as the winner has gone on to score twice subsequently. Patrick Martin's charge has been raised 6lb but is in the form of his life and will take all the beating. Apache Drums was staying on strongly over 1m4f at Tipperary and has won over hurdles so the longer trip won't be a problem nor will it be for the in-form jumpers Gudnis Gracious Me, a winner over fences at Tramore earlier this month, and Dorset Square, whose latest start was in a Grade 2 hurdle at Auteuil.
