Allduckornodinner won this in 2019 and hasn't had much racing subsequently. Champagne Beauty did better at Wexford last time and is just 1lb higher than her last winning mark. Diggin Deep won over hurdles at Clonmel in June and fences at Sligo last month and is greatly respected from just 4lb higher. Doldido just got up at Galway but never got going at Downpatrick while First Touch scored over hurdles at Roscommon and makes his handicap debut over fences. FATHER JED (NAP) was a fortunate winner at Sligo then just got up at Listowel and he's in such good form that he can defy a 5lb rise. Direct Image was beaten less than two lengths over fences at Tramore before scoring over hurdles at Navan and looks well enough treated to get into contention.
