DINOBLUE took up the running two out in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham but a mistake there and at the last didn't aid her cause and she had to settle for second. This looks an easier assignment despite having to concede lumps of weight. Union Park had been in very good form before falling at Gowran and will be receiving 23lb from the selection while winning hurdler Mount Brown makes his handicap debut over fences after just three runs. Aarons Day was in touch when falling in a Naas Grade 3 though the main threat may come from Whiskeywealth, who won his last two starts over fences before placed over timber at Limerick.
