Bose Ikard, who is very well handicapped over hurdles compared to his chase rating, had an engagement at Bellewstown last night so the result should be monitored. Playtime Ben returned after a break to run very well over a trip much too short at Kilbeggan and his rider's claim will aid his cause. Doc Hollywood has been running quite well over fences and won't have a problem reverting to timber with Barry Geraghty, who was on board last time, a strong booking. I C Gold won here last month but was 13lb higher when producing a poor effort at Ballinrobe last time. MAY DULLEA (NAP) has been running well on quick ground and was possibly a bit unlucky at Roscommon last time. She'll be ideally suited by this trip and Andy Lynch is taken to steer her home. The four-year-old Down Time went up 12lb for his impressive victory at Kilbeggan and that stopped him in his tracks at Galway where he finished tailed off though that didn't look his true form.
