Endlessly struggled at the weights after completing a double in the UK two years ago but ran his best race for a very long time at Navan last month. Difficult Decision ran well over fences at Punchestown last month but Magnor Glory is 14lb higher than his only victory at Wexford in May. Barncroft is an obvious threat as his third at Naas in December couldn't have worked out better while DANCING JEREMY reverts to hurdles after a comfortable victory over fences at Cork a month ago. That was over the bigger obstacles but he was always travelling nicely and is on a 12lb lower mark back over timber. After narrow defeats here and at Limerick, Kashi looked ready to strike at Gowran but only got as far as the fourth so supporters will be looking for compensation.
