ZIPPORAH, a dual winning point-to-pointer, showed her first sign of form over timber when making most over a slightly longer trip than this at Clonmel. She was well clear at this distance and though hit with a 10lb rise Ricky Doyle's claim takes care of most of the extra and she can follow up. Duty Dance has only won once over hurdles but that was on testing ground in February and she's only 5lb higher so has to be considered a threat. Dave's Stamper has plenty of weight for what he's achieved to date and Bank Man disappointed when supported at Fairyhouse after a promising effort at Naas earlier. Four times hurdles winner Thepartysover hasn't scored for some time but has dropped to a lowly mark as a consequence and he'll be bouncing back before long.
