Daigreen, Pleased As Punch and CHAKISTO (NAP) have all been running very well and are closely matched on collateral form. The former had Pleased As Punch a couple of lengths behind at Tramore but with Danny Benson claiming his 5lb Gus Leahy's charge can take revenge though he's just held by Chakisto on their 1-2 at Listowel in September and Adam O'Neill's claim just swings things the way of Eoin Doyle's six-year-old. Flying Bella was 12l behind Daigreen at Tramore and though better off at the weights she has only won once in 24 starts over hurdles.
