Roscommon winner Youcrackmeup is is 9lb out of the handicap though Jamie Powell's claim should be a help. The veteran The Jam Man, eleven-times a winner, can never be dismissed at this sort of level but Tronador is 13lb higher than his victory at Bellewstown a year ago. RICH BELIEF found 1m4f too sharp last time and is better over this trip. He may just have the edge over Barometer, a close second over this trip at Killarney last month. Cask Mate, rated 130 over hurdles, has Rachael's assistance and carried a huge weight into a place over timber at Wexford last month.
