Dr Moloney travelled strongly for a long way here last time but couldn't quicken in the closing stages and was beaten a length by Presenting. However, on there terms, he should have his revenge and is a threat to all. Kilbree Kid has tumbled down the weights but is struggling to take advantage and Isla Pearl Fisher is looking a light of former days. GLEANN NA NDOCHAIS was successful off a higher mark at Carlisle in October and has won over this trip in the past so looks to have decent claims.
