The versatile IRISH BULLETIN has won over hurdles and fences on his last two visits here and is still on a fair mark over the bigger obstacles, especially with his rider's claim to help so gets the vote in a tight handicap. Kilclispeen hails from a yard that can do no wrong though he wouldn't want any more rain as his best form is on quick ground. Roevin Star went up 6lb for scoring over an extended 3m1f at Wexford then found 2m4f on the short side on the same track so he looks certain to go well but Naughty Molly, who wasn't far behind in that first race at Wexford, has a strike-rate of 1-42 which doesn't inspire confidence. The hunter-chaser Cant Pay Wont Pay is making her handicap debut and looks a few pounds high.
