Prolific point-to-point winner Carlanstown has had a couple of recent runs over hurdles and arrives here on a very lowly mark. He's definitely on the short-list with Kevin Sexton's claim a plus while All Fired Up and Red Or White fought out the finish of a Tramore handicap last month with the latter coming out on top. However, he was subsequently a long way behind Drop Anchor at Kilbeggan and Edward Crawley's charge should have little difficulty confirming that form despite an 8lb rise. SURVIVAL hasn't had much experience of regulation fences but is certainly getting the hang of them now having completed a double at Clonmel and Ballinrobe, both times showing a tremendous attitude. He's been raised another 7lb and will find this tougher but is taken to complete a hat-trick. One Fine Morning, a winner over fences at Roscommon before a poor run over timber when favourite at Killarney, could prove best of the remainder.
