WITNESS OF FASHION (NAP) landed this in 2015 and is always capable of winning a race like this as he did at Punchestown in March from just 2lb lower. He's handed the vote though Ticket To Ride, who didn't show much for Polly Gundry which is why he's on a very low mark, has joined Gordon Elliott who has a great record with similar types. Bective Cave ran a bit better when reverting to fences at Clonmel but it's a long time since Quiet Account showed much. Bard Of Armagh has had 14 career starts and failed to reach a place in any of them.
