Handsworth has won around here and is better than we've seen in the last couple of runs. Know The Game has struggled off his new mark since scoring at Naas but Pats Choice ran well for a long way on just his second start over fences at Clonmel. MARVEL FAN (NAP) won over fences in France but that was three years ago and she's been confined to hurdles subsequently. She's been showing plenty of ability and could be thrown in off her chasing mark. Dual hurdles winner The Dasher Conway has come up against smart opposition in three starts over fences and makes his handicap debut.
