Burn And Turn won the first running of this a year ago and is one of two entries from Jessica Harrington's yard. She's remained in fine form against strong opposition, though is on a 10lb higher mark this time. Her stablemate Annie Oakley jumped very well when beating a decent field at Wexford, though she's been hit with a 10lb rise and this is much tougher. Lily Waugh bids to go one better than her run in a similar contest at Cheltenham last month where she was conceding 9lb to the winner and she won't have travelled over from Dorset for nothing. Speckled Wood has shown some promise but has much more to do while Indian Fairy is inconsistent, though would be a threat on her victory over Our Katie at Clonmel in October. Dazzling Susie has been keeping good company and Paul Carberry is back on board after riding her in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse but in an open contest it's PERFECT PROMISE, who followed a facile victory at Thurles with a fair run in a Grade 2 at Limerick, who gets the nod.
