Corr Point was in top form on fast ground at this time a year ago and with conditions likely to be similar he has to be respected. Tom's Article landed a bumper on this track but jumped poorly on his hurdling debut here and will need to do much better. Dual point-to-point winner Better Back Bob ran easily his best race to date on this track and trip a couple of weeks ago and should be winning soon but BUSTER DAN DAN will take all the beating. He attempted to make all at Tramore last time but couldn't contain the finishing burst of Magical Moon. He's won between the flags so the slightly longer trip won't be a problem and he gets the nod. Stay Tuned was beaten a long way when tackling this sort of trip at Cartmel.
