Inscribe has won three times on ground with plenty of give so more rain would greatly add to his chances. Torcello hadn't been running well over hurdles but did better on his return to the Flat at Naas and isn't badly handicapped but Kerosin appears better at Dundalk these days. Gasta takes a step up in trip after scoring over an extended mile at Cork but wasn't beaten far over 1m4f at Galway in October so should have no problems with the distance. She's likely to be there at the finish though the vote goes to ONLYHUMAN (NAP), from Jessica Harrington's in-form yard and arriving after just failing to concede 16lb to Latchet at Leopardstown. Ingleby Mackenzie has won four of his last seven starts on the Flat and over hurdles and is still at the right end of the handicap so has to be a major threat.
