Joseph O'Brien has won this three times in the past five years and has two entries. Behind Enemy Lines looks best of the pair on their respective form having finished mid-division in a Curragh maiden in August. Barry Connell's horses are in good form and Avondale caught the eye three weeks ago, despite running green. VICKI WALL has changed stables since a fine run here in November when attracting some support. Normal progress can see her off the mark though Andy Slattery's stable is going well and On Our Radar will improve for last month's run.
