Joeswayornoway has won over hurdles here and over fences at Killarney in October but may not be as well suited by the conditions as others. Union Park continues to run well without getting there and could do with dropping a few pounds in the ratings while winning hurdler Priory Park has been beaten a long way in all four starts over fences. BONNIE KELLIE (NAP) gave notice of an imminent victory when narrowly beaten over 2m4f here and duly obliged over 2m1f at Limerick on St Stephen's Day. She's been raised 11lb, which is plenty, but looks progressive enough to go in again.
