THATBEATSBANAGHER (NAP) won this last year then followed up over hurdles at Tramore. He's 8lb higher but should be ready for a repeat.

Different Spot scored over the course and distance in October but has run poorly the last twice. Allardyce is on a long losing run and only slowly dropping in the weights.
