Quarry Lil is a three-times course winner and Cluan Dara has won over track and trip. Both are out of form however as is Pythion, who makes his handicap bow over fences after beaten a long way in two starts at Ballinrobe. I'LL BE THAT LADY (NAP) went up 10lb for an easy victory over 2m1f at Tipperary but made a bold bid over 2m5f at Punchestown where she just failed to concede 7lb to the winner. She's up another 2lb but looks the one to beat. Withallduerespect won a Tramore handicap hurdle in August and showed promise in a couple of later starts over fences so she could provide the main threat.
