Stormy Jenn was well beaten over hurdles last time but has won twice around here and any further rain would aid her cause. Silkies Sib hails from a yard in blistering form and has suddenly found his feet, following a close third at Cork with a victory at Tipperary. He's up 6lb but Sean Bowen takes the ride again and another big run is expected. PARTISAN HERO is on a hat-trick after victories at Galway and on this track. He's been raised 8lb but looks to be progressing fast enough to take care of the extra. New Hill is on a very long losing run and was beaten into fourth off this mark at Punchestown on Wednesday.
