Flynsini won this very easily in 2017 but is still 10lb higher. The veteran Witness Of Fashion still has another race in him judging by his recent runs and his last victory a year ago was from a higher mark than this. Kilbarry Calling is one of the few here with scope over fences having won a mares' beginners' chase at Thurles but it's about time CLOUDY MORNING was winning over regulation fences. Three times a winner between the flags, he was having his first start for Declan Queally when runner-up over a trip much too short at Wexford last weekend and can go one better.
