Tilabay has never really progressed from his victory over Siberian Tiger at Listowel a year ago though he has rarely had the soft conditions he needs. Dual point-to-point winner Askanna remains undefeated after victories in a Kilbeggan bumper and in a maiden over timber at Listowel where she defied a last-flight error. Moscow Breeze has been in poor form over timber and fences so this can go to BROG AN RI, who is progressing nicely and will have benefited from a recent run on the Flat at Listowel, his first since landing a Killarney maiden in July.
