Moonovercloon has won a bumper here and looked to have a bit in hand when landing a Downpatrick handicap over timber last month. He looks the type to make further progress though will find WAR CORRESPONDENT a tough opponent. Ray Cody's charge scored at Punchestown in October before placed in a Cheltenham Grade 2. He's been in reasonable form on the Flat and will take some beating. Weddell Sea's third to Glan at Listowel was a very good effort while the winner's yard is represented by Ebasari, who is better than he's shown in his last two starts. Defan has been chasing and reverts to hurdles on a 15lb lower mark
