Ricky Langford won on his only visit here in July last year though that was over hurdles. He was beaten just over a length by Coole Arcade over fences at Wexford in August and will be 11lb better off. The winner was having just his second start over fences but faces a stiff task to confirm the form at these weights. Pythion beat Jack Holiday easily enough at Tramore in July and should confirm the form. Ena Baie has shown some potential in her two starts over fences but a chance is taken with ALEXHARWILL. He's 0-16 over hurdles but made a very positive debut over fences at Sligo where he led for a long way before weakening on the flat in a race won by the in-form Golden Sandbanks. Carnet De Stage won here in August and his saddle slipped when pulled up at Listowel.
