Misty Millie has won over hurdles here and also at Kilbeggan in July. She makes her chasing debut but Theatre World, who scored over timber at Navan in November, made a promising start over fences at Down Royal where he would have finished much closer but for being impeded and making a bad mistake at the last. SHAKEYTRY was up with the pace throughout when tackling 2m4f at Cork but couldn't quite contain Deilginis, who was receiving 7lb. The remainder were well beaten and he can go one better. Brog Ahaon, a winner over hurdles at Kilbeggan in August, hasn't performed badly in his two starts over fences though Pound A Stroke has done slightly better but both will need to improve.
