Rogue Angel failed to get a run from his reserve spot in the previous race but this looks easier. POORMANS HILL is in terrific form and bounced back from defeat in the Leinster National at Gowran by beating stable companion Out Sam and Oscar Lantern in the Ulster National at Downpatrick eight days ago when Dinnie's Vinnie was even further behind. He pulled clear off the home turn so a 10lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent another victory. Baily Moon and Close Shave were also in good form prior to their latest runs and warrant respect Anseanachai Cliste, though an early casualty at Downpatrick, is well treated against the selection on Down Royal running in November. Paper Lantern has been a little disappointing this season but a return to his best form would see him thereabouts.
