A low-grade handicap in which FRENCH COMPANY (NAP) can get off the mark. His narrow defeat by the in-form Miss Florentine at Punchestown is the stand-out recent form and a first victory looks on the cards. Arcland has twice been well beaten over hurdles since scoring at the Curragh but Clueless Hill won here in July, though never got involved from just 3lb higher at Gowran. Chacha Dancer is 0-8 but has run very well the last twice and his rider can claim 7lb though Chimeric may provide the main threat as he was staying on over a mile at the Curragh behind Miss Florentine.
