Macgiloney has some smart form over fences but reverted to hurdles to land a Galway handicap last month. He had earlier been beaten three lengths by FAIRYHILL RUN over timber at Tipperary and the winner went on to complete a double in very impressive style over fences at Limerick. The assessor took a dim view and raised her 14lb but she's progressing fast enough to defy the extra. Filon D'Oudairies could be the one to upset the selection if staying the longer trip as he beat subsequent winner Pat Coyne over 2m4f at Wexford. Fred The Foot won a beginners' chase over the track and trip last month while Jerandme ran well behind The Echo Boy at Roscommon and the winner wasn't beaten far in the Midlands National here. Golden Spread makes his handicap debut from what could prove a lenient mark.
