A low-grade handicap in which few arrive in form. The Rite Article stays the trip well enough as he showed here last month and should be thereabouts though he finished just behind OISIN JAMES (NAP), who had earlier completed a double. The latter found 2m5f on the short side at Limerick last time and has every chance of returning to winning ways. Willow Grange was in the process of running his best race over hurdles when unseating Danny Mullins at Roscommon so the combination will be looking for compensation while High Nellie showed that this is her trip when a very good second in a Punchestown maiden. Perrie Hill has had 17 starts over timber without winning but his second in a huge field at Navan in October gives him a clear chance.
