Verdict
Hilary completed a double here and at Bellewstown before finding an 8lb rise beyond her at Listowel. CORKER HILL was narrowly beaten three times before coming here in September and gaining a comfortable victory. He's been raised 7lb but that looks manageable and he can score again. Six Silver Lane's last victory was here in May and he's 12lb higher and though Alvar has won four times here he hasn't run since finishing tailed off at the Curragh in May. Cheers Buddy is back on exactly the same mark as his fourth and latest success on the track but the main threat may come from Almosthaditall, who has been threatening a victory for some time and ran her best race to date when just failing to hold off Nedera last week. Tirghra has never run here and is still a maiden but it wouldn't be a shock to see her in the shake-up.
