Itsalonglongroad is one of the most versatile horses in training having won over fences, including here, hurdles, the all-weather and Turf so he can never be discounted. EVERLASTINGPROMISE (NAP) hasn't run over hurdles for two years but was returning from a break when easily landing a handicap chase at Killarney last July for which he was raised 13lb. He reverts to timber on a 31lb lower mark so looks the one to beat. Futurem Regem was beaten a very long way into third at Ballinrobe but Sweet Sixteen has found her form having followed her Tramore victory with a good run from 7lb higher at Punchestown. Alice O'Byrne won a point on good ground and has been racing in testing conditions over hurdles.
