Walking On Glass finished runner-up when favourite for this a year ago and won over hurdles here in July. However, he was well beaten behind No Thanks at Galway and the latter won again at Bellewstown, though was engaged in the 6.45 at Clonmel yesterday. HANNON was beaten narrowly in that Bellewstown event and has much the better of the weights here so should reverse the form. New Society has been well beaten over hurdles since scoring over 1m4f here in July but Mountain Fox was only headed close home over 1m7f at Leopardstown.
