A low-grade handicap which was won in 2019 by Our Brian from a 5lb higher mark. He's also gained his only other victory on the track so has to be respected. GRINN (NAP) had shown virtually nothing until sent to Roscommon on Monday where she produced easily her best effort to date to finish runner-up. She's been left on the same mark and a similar performance should see her go one better. Impressive Duke completed a double over fences in 2019 but hasn't been seen since December of that year when narrowly beaten in a Clonmel handicap hurdle. Massons Castle found 2m5f too far here last month after a much better effort over shorter at Kilbeggan. Going Solo was engaged in the 3.15 here yesterday.
