Not surprisingly many of these have been jumping including Advantage Point, a winning bumper and hurdler who has been chasing. He found 1m5f too short in a similar race to this at Sligo and looks certain to get involved. MY MATE MOZZIE, a winning bumper and twice successful over timber, couldn't get close to the well-supported Shajak at Tipperary but was staying on over that 1m4f and today's trip can see him go one better. Free Royal has yet to finish in a place but should find this trip more to his liking. Willie Mullins has won this a couple of times in recent years and Loughisle Lady is interesting even though she didn't show much over hurdles in the autumn.
