Westerner Point has only had four runs over fences and looked one to follow when making all at Wexford. A 6lb rise doesn't look excessive and a big run is expected. Dysios beat I'M ALL YOU NEED (NAP) narrowly at Leopardstown in December but the latter has the edge at the weights this time and also has the call over Balnagon Boy on their run here in November. Caolaneoin gained his first victory over fences on his 16th start at Naas but has a huge weight rise to overcome while Bishopslough is much better handicapped over hurdles.
