The veteran Hard Bought has won twice around here though is on a long losing run and was beaten 11l by PERFECT LEADER (NAP) at Wexford last month. The winner has a 7lb rise to overcome but this doesn't look too difficult and he can complete a double. Das Mooser hasn't run since September when well beaten on the latter track though he'd have a chance on an earlier Limerick victory. Comehere Hi, a dual winner over hurdles, is making her handicap debut over fences but could find this on the short side.
