Hurricane Georgie won this convincingly last year and though 8lb higher Gordon Elliott puts up a 5lb claimer, as he does on recent Killarney novice winner Vina Ardanza. Michael O'Sullivan gets the ride on Tullybeg, who landed a similar race to this at Ballinrobe though will be 12lb higher. Jack Kennedy is on board Mars Harper for the yard and though his mount has never won over fences he's competed at a high level. LIFE IN THE PARK would have finished closer to Tullbeg at Ballinrobe but for being impeded and with a healthy pull in the weights is taken to reverse the places and take this. Stealthy Tom is in a rich vein of form though is up 10lb for completing a double at Roscommon and runner-up Foxy Jacks has a chance of reversing the form on the revised terms. Pont Aval is up 9lb for winning the Killarney National while Arrycan has 6lb extra for landing a Punchestown handicap.
