Late Night Deed had pulled up in heavy going at Listowel in June but came here for a handicap over a slightly shorter trip earlier this month and was quite an impressive winner. She's on the upgrade and should make a bold bid to defy an 8lb rise. But PIERLOW has really found his feet over fences having completed a double and can revert to hurdling off an 11lb lower mark so is handed the vote. Just Call Me won a handicap over the minimum trip here before a poor effort when stepped up to 2m3f on a return visit so Drive The Bus looks more of a threat. Denis Hogan's charge won a chase at Wexford in July and took advantage of a much lower mark over hurdles at Sligo a couple of weeks ago so should get into the frame despite a subsequent 8lb rise.
