In depth

Verdict

FORJOETHEPAINTER is the only course and distance winner in the line up having scored in October of last year before being well beaten in this. There were signs of a revival on his reappearance two weeks ago and he's dropped to a fair mark so gets the vote. Ash Rowe has only won between the flags and though there was plenty to like about his run at Listowel in September this could be on the short side. De Benno has been chasing and can revert to hurdles on a 12lb lower mark but The Informer is 12lb higher than when scoring at Ballinrobe in August. Liclash gained his first ever victory at Limerick in July but that was on good ground while Augher Castle hasn't been seen since April though any money for the lightly raced seven year old should be noted.
