A low-grade handicap with few arriving in form. Sanibel Island has changed stables after finishing third at Clonmel but is 0-26 over fences. Jack Foley has been making a name for himself and has been snapped up for Feyan though his mount has been jumping poorly over fences. Arvicta's run behind Brandy Harbour at Naas was a fair effort and he was in second place when falling at Limerick but winning bumper HENRY BROWN had shown very little before a much better run at Limerick last month. Noel Meade's charge may be good enough to take this as Stealthy Tom is 10lb higher than his victory at Killarney in October.
