TULLYBEG's 4 lengths second to The Shunter at Downpatrick in September now looks a cracking effort and he won back there the following month. He didn't go so well at Punchestown the same month but that earlier run gives him the edge over these. Samurai Cracker is race-fit and has every chance at the weights though his recent victory here came over fences and he may find the selection has too much pace for him. The progressive Teescomponentsyess may prove more of a threat after a fine display of front-running over 2m3f at Limerick but most of the remainder have plenty to find.
