Innamorare has won three times here and started favourite when placed in a big field last month. Darkened arrives in winning form having landed a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan early last month but Tudor Manor has yet to win and this looks on the short side. Smaoineamh Sile was running really well in the autumn and gained a deserved first success with a comfortable course and distance victory over today's rival Pro Bono last month though a 10lb rise makes this tougher. SOD'S LAW has been raised 4lb for scoring a Bellewstown last week but connections come here with a 7lb penalty so must believe he's still well handicapped so he gets the nod.
