SAOIRSE DUN began his winning run on a mark of 84 and is now on 110 but he won so easily at Wexford last time that a four-timer beckons. El Fontan is a class act as he showed when beating Mikael D'Haguenet last time though that was his first success over fences on this twelfth start. Mr Goodenough is an obvious threat to all as the former hunter battled on strongly to beat Kylebeg Krystle at Punchestown. For A Finish won over hurdles last time and isn't as well handicapped over fences while Ballinahow Lady put in a very poor effort at Thurles after scoring at Wexford.
