This has been run three times and outsiders have won them all. Triplets Joy arrives in very good form and has sneaked into the bottom of the handicap while Horendus Hulabaloo won a maiden at this fixture a year ago and would be a threat if wound up after a long absence. Dara Tango is a smart handicapper who was unlucky to bump into the hat-trick completing Lite Duties at Navan while Kashline is on a better mark than over fences and Danny Benson's claim is a bonus. He's been chasing, as has SPECKLED WOOD, and it's A P McCoy's mount who could take this as he looks on a fair mark compared to his rating over fences. Ttebbob ran poorly at Thurles last time but that was nowhere near the form he showed in his earlier starts.
