Thosedaysaregone has a penalty for his bumper victory and makes his hurdling debut but newly-crowned champion conditional Donal McInerney's claim will aid his cause. Hugo 'N Taz had been chasing before just failing to hold off Cluan Dara over 2m7f at Fairyhouse where he was in the lead over this trip. Plan Of Attack easily won a point last April and will be better for his run over hurdles at Limerick in December where he led for a long way. ISLE OF DESTINY, runner-up in a point just over a year ago, was still in touch when brought down at Limerick ten days ago and can get Gordon Elliott off to a winning start as he chases another elusive trainer's title. Winning point-to-pointer Napoleon Blue has shown nothing in three starts over hurdles but will be suited by stepping up in trip.
