Oor Jock has been running well from this sort of mark on soft ground and should get involved again while Kiss The Stars gained her only victory to date over the track and trip and has been in decent form at Dundalk. Red All Star has proved much better on faster going and hasn't run since September when behind tonight's rival Lily's Prince, who couldn't handle testing ground on his reappearance last month. Ask Dad is 9lb higher than his last victory while Battleroftheboyne, who hasn't won since 2012, invariably finds a way to get beaten as he did when runner-up at Sligo earlier this month. APACHE GOLD is a real course specialist having gained three of his four career victories here. He's surprisingly 1lb lower in the weights than when successful in October and two recent runs will have put him straight.
