Luddsdenene has failed to finish in more than half of his eight races over fences and got no further than the first at Tipperary last week. He'd been in decent form over timber previously but is very difficult to fancy and won't be a big price. IMPERIAL JOEY produces the occasional decent run and at least has a victory over fences to his credit so, if he's on his game, he looks the one to be on. Baily Dusk has pulled up in four of his last seven starts but would have an obvious chance if in the same kind of form as when a close second to Back Off Mate at Ballinrobe in August. Not for the first time, Mia's Anthem came in for strong support at Sligo earlier this month but he was beaten a long way. He's taking a big drop in trip though there's little evidence he'll be suited. Personal Shopper has dropped to a very lowly mark and could prove the main threat with his rider using his claim.
