Simply True won here in August and again at Killarney earlier this month. He's 6lb higher but on the upgrade so has to be respected with Sam Ewing's claim a major plus. Ebony Maw makes his handicap debut after landing a Navan maiden on just his fourth start so progress is virtually guaranteed. Ideal Pal loves testing ground as he showed at Listowel while Memyselfandmoi battled on gamely to land a strong Navan handicap and is just 3lb higher. Blackpoint ran in a bumper at Limerick before landing a 1m3f maiden back there but it's about time DANCE JUPITER (NAP) was having some luck. Placed three times this autumn, he's met trouble in-running on each occasion and with his young rider's claim a major bonus this time he can finally double his winning tally.
