For A Finish has been alternating between hurdles and fences and is better over the bigger obstacles these days. NINTH LEGION landed a maiden at Wexford a month ago and was by no means disgraced in finishing runner-up to Sicilian Secret at Ballinrobe. He's definitely on the upgrade and the longer trip should suit him admirably. Page One Two Nine last ran over hurdles when successful at Wexford in June last year and has been chasing. He'll be suited by a stiff test of stamina and could probably do with some rain.
