Half of this field scored between the flags on their latest starts. The former decent hurdler Davy From MIlan is progressing though his jumping has left something to be desired in his two recent victories. Wayupinthesky was having just his sixth career start when battling to victory at Nenagh and has more to offer but it's BALLYADAM DANCER who may have the edge. She showed nothing over hurdles but has won three of her four races in point-to-points and fell at the first in the other. Forde In America was left clear at the last for an easy victory at Templenacarriga but would have won anyway while Massinimoss has the bonus of Jamie Codd in the saddle.
