CAPTURE THE DRAMA, now a teenager and the winner of eight races over fences plus a point and a hurdle, ran poorly at Downpatrick last time though had gone much better the previous day at Tipperary. He isn't out of this despite his age and gets the nod but another veteran, Wee Small Hours, is on a long losing run. Winning point-to-pointer Boro Melody has only had two starts over fences and ran well for a long way at Downpatrick but the maiden Stormy Master fell on his only start over fences.
