Luimneach Abu has won once in 32 starts but almost doubled his tally at Tramore last month when just failing to peg back Most Honourable. He's not the most consistent but is well handicapped at his best. BANKER BURKE (NAP), who finished just over three lengths behind in fourth, was having his first start since January and making his handicap debut. With his young rider's claim a bonus he looks the one to be on. Vinniespride is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but that was two years ago and he's been out of form. Authorative has never won over hurdles though is consistent enough to reach a place but Island Villa's latest run came on his debut over fences. Glendaars Best is in decent form and would have an obvious chance if getting a run from his reserve spot.
