MALINA GIRL (NAP), a winning bumper and hurdler, is the youngest in the line-up and was having just her fifth start over fences when staying on over 2m4f at Wexford so normal progress can see her go one better. Three-times hurdles winner Stormey is 0-23 over fences but stepping-up in trip could bring about some improvement. Abraham won over fences last summer and has mainly been racing over hurdles while Weihnachts is a heavy-ground performer who was beaten a distance into second last time. Cluan Dara pops up every now and then from a lowly mark as he did when beating Father Jed at Limerick though the runner-up has hardly enhanced the form. Drumcliff returned from a long break to run well at the Festival but Mark Walsh prefers the owner's Goodnightngodbless.
