Tribes And Banner is better known as a jumper so it was a surprise that he had the pace to score over 1m4f on this surface last time and may find this on the short side. Acushladear is having her first Polytrack start and is running well, though she couldn't cope with a 10lb rise for her Tipperary success when beaten there subsequently and has been raised another 1lb. GAP OF DUNLOE has been making steady progress and had a little more in hand than the narrow verdict over tonight's rival Coppers suggests over the C&D last time so a 4lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a follow up. Snuggle Up showed her first sign of ability at Fairyhouse and would be a threat from this mark if taking to the surface.
