The veteran Canadian Steel has won three times around here including this in 2019 though he'll need to improve on what he's been showing. My Oakclahome won a hunter-chase over the track and trip two years ago and a handicap at Tramore last month. He only just failed to defy a 6lb rise at Killarney and should make a bold bid get back to winning ways. Ask Cory failed to build on a victory in a beginners' chase on the latter track and has an absence to overcome but BLUE MARKIE was very impressive on his handicap debut over fences at Tramore. Well-supported that day, he made all for a 15 lengths victory and a 10lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a quick double. Hell On Earth is running well without winning and should be thereabouts again.
