It's almost two years since Aunt Audrey gained her only success over timber on this track but she won on the Flat at Gowran last month. Dazzling Darren has been unplaced in four starts over timber but won on the Flat at Sligo earlier this month so has to be on the shortlist. Match My Fire, 1-28 on the Flat, looks like doing better over hurdles judging by a close second at Tramore last month where she was conceding the winner 7lb. The four-year-old RICH BELIEF had shown virtually nothing since arriving from the UK before heading for Limerick where he was well supported but couldn't get close to Cratloe.This is a similarly poor-quality handicap and he can gain compensation. Clonbury Bridge would be another looking to recoup losses if getting a run from his reserve spot.
