Shes Some Doll has moved stables after landing a claiming hurdle at Roscommon but she'd been in moderate form over fences previously. Hard Rain has been placed in his last three starts but has never won nor has Know The Game, beaten 14 lengths when runner-up at Thurles. Berliet Express has looked high in the weights since scoring at Gowran while Added Bonus is 0-21. SHANTOU SISU stays further than this, his only victory over fences coming over 2m3f, but Danny Mullins will make use of his stamina and he can reward each-way backers in a handicap with few in form.
