Verdict
No Way Jack had been running consistently well all year and started favourite at Cork on Sunday but was put in his place by FAIRY FLUTE (NAP). The winner was having her first start over this trip on ground with some give and looked ideally suited so a 3lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a quick follow-up. Fiosrach has been beaten over hurdles since his third place on heavy ground at Tipperary but Snap Click won this last year and also scored at Navan in the summer. He's a fast ground horse so wouldn't want more rain while Enough Is Enough has won twice in 47 career starts, both on this track. Busy Bush was in very good form before a disappointing run at Cork on Sunday though that didn't look her true form.
