CARRIG CATHAL made several mistakes before completing his hat-trick in very testing ground at Listowel but still managed to win with a bit in hand. He had the short-priced Screaming Rose a long way behind though Willie Mullins' mare was nowhere near her best and didn't act in the conditions. She had Delegate well beaten at Killarney earlier but Peregrine Run has suddenly found his form though all of his victories to date have been on quicker ground than he'll face here. Electric Concorde and Bitview Colin have both done well though will need to find plenty more against this opposition.
