Longacre Square has changed stables since landing a Clonmel claiming hurdle. His former stable is represented by Mars Harper, who appeared to find 2m7f stretching his stamina at Killarney last week having won over an extended two miles at Down Royal in June. Wild Shot, seven-times a winner on the Flat, was narrowly beaten at Clonmel last week and is getting closer to a first hurdling success. He holds Top Line Tommy on that run while Craic Eile has scored twice at Tramore during the summer. ROCK ON SEAMIE, a winner on the Flat at Ballinrobe in June, had been threatening to lose his maiden tag over timber before doing so in a Navan handicap and can follow up from just 4lb higher. Dazzling Darren has been in excellent form on the Flat and over hurdles and again ran well when runner-up over the track and trip last month.
