Hoke Colburn last won a race in December 2020 on this track in testing conditions but he's been running well in recent weeks and, with his rider's claim to help, should get into the mix. Menindee had been going well over hurdles before landing a Ballinrobe handicap and was making her chasing debut when making a few mistakes at Downpatrick. She'll have come on for that experience and looks a threat to all. TEMPTATIONINMILAN (NAP) had been running well over timber without winning before coming with a late run to score over 2m4f over fences at Listowel. He's up 7lb but his rider claims that back and the longer trip looks certain to suit. The Eye Of Tulla is 6lb wrong in the weights but ran easily his best race to date at Ballinrobe and will get a good ride from Maxine O'Sullivan.
