Spot Fine has the form to win this but he's now had 18 races over hurdles without winning and finds precious little off the bridle. Here For The Craic carries a penalty for his bumper victory and connections will be hoping the rain stays away as his best form has come on quick going. Dun Scaith's best effort came over a much longer trip while Illtakeitfromhere looked a bit one-paced when producing his effort at Cork so a chance is taken on the fitness of MOLLIES GENT. He showed much-improved form when attempting to make all at Punchestown in October and, with more progress likely, can lead this field home.
