Dromore Lad is 3-4 around here though has been looking a few pounds high recently. Halsafari has been in very good form over fences and reverts to hurdles on a 7lb lower mark while Ificudiwud won a maiden hurdle over this trip at Roscommon in August by 14 lengths so would enter the equation if ready. MOYODE GOLD (NAP) landed a course and distance maiden before a fine run on her handicap debut over 3m on a return visit. She's still at the right end of the handicap and looks the one to beat though Hareth, who has been running in better company, would be a big threat if back to form.
