May Dullea is on a 10lb higher mark than her victory over 2m4f at Down Royal in June but the four-year-old Caridadi wouldn't need to improve much on his close third at Tramore in August where he had Swantykay behind. It's All An Act has been chasing and is well handicapped back over timber though he is closely matched with COLLA PIER on their 1-2 at Punchestown a year ago. The latter is still a maiden after eleven starts over hurdles but it's about time she was winning and this looks a decent opportunity. Comehere Hi had been threatening to win before landing a maiden at Kilbeggan and can only improve while Banker Burke appeared to find 2m2f stretching his stamina last time after two good runs at this trip.
