Anglers Crag has come up against two of the best bumpers of the campaign since scoring at Fairyhouse and should find this more to his liking. Any Givin Sunday made a successful debut at Punchestown in October and his next run a couple of weeks later may have come too soon. BALLYCAIRN finished 14 lengths behind Kilcruit on his debut at Navan but the winner is ante-post favourite for the championship race at Cheltenham. He then went on to make most over 2m4f at Leopardstown and Jamie Codd will make most of his stamina. Flame Bearer was very impressive at Thurles and Another Scotch was narrowly beaten by Gigolo Dai Dai at Punchestown and can reverse the form on these terms.
