The very busy and versatile EFFERNOCK FIZZ has run two cracking races over fences recently and has won from this mark over timber. As Tears Go By completed a double in May but jumped very poorly when tailed off at Ballinrobe in July. The Big Chap, a winner here in April, put a poor performance at Roscommon behind him to win comfortably at Sligo though he's 7lb higher and his rider claimed 4lb that day. Cerberus is out of form but has dropped to a lowly mark while Tom McGreevy put his jumping problems behind him at Tramore.
