Verdict

Buster Dan Dan won this a year ago but has been racing over fences recently and is 9lb higher. Master Appeal, runner-up a year ago, is 10lb higher but did run well over this trip at Cork last month where he finished just behind Coolmill. The latter was showing his first sign of form for some time but does go particularly well on that track. The veteran Ballyadam Brook has gone well here in the past and is on his lowest ever mark over timber while Killiney Court should go well. Colm Murphy's charge has been alternating between hurdles and fences and can run from a 9lb lower mark than over the bigger obstacles after his recent victory at Ballinrobe. CLONALIG HOUSE showed improved form to score over the trip at Tipperary and was well supported to do so. He's untested in the conditions but still looks well treated so is handed the vote.
