Vipers Nest had shown potential before coming here last month when well supported. He produced a battling performance to beat today's rival Glenabo Bridge in testing conditions and can confirm the form on slightly worse terms. Ballea Fox, who finished sixth, can get closer with the run under his belt. Solar Heat has managed to win seven races in her career though is 2-34 over hurdles and could have done without a 2lb rise for finishing second last time. Spancil Hill won over fences at Clonmel and reverts to hurdles 10lb lower while Ballyshannon Rose arrives with a penalty for last week's victory on her handicap debut at Thurles where she benefited from a fine ride from Paddy Kennedy. Today's amateur rider reduces her impost so she should be thereabouts again while Oneknightmoreihope, who started favourite, will be expected to do better. LOW LIE THE FIELDS has only had four runs and caught the eye on his handicap debut a Fairyhouse last month so gets the nod in a competitive handicap.
