A very low-grade handicap for this course. Tb Broke Her showed virtually nothing before a shock victory at Clonmel where the better ground was put forward as the reason for the improvement. She's been raised 5lb but a repeat performance would have to see her go close. Augher Castle is another to show major improvement at Fairyhouse last time and holds Forjoethepainter on that run but Bog War has to be respected on his run behind Burning Issues at Gowran where a last-flight error didn't aid his cause. Ruby Walsh is an interesting booking for Jonathan Wild, who hasn't won in 17 starts, but if the ground keeps drying out then REALDEALHOLYFIELD could be up to this as it was on the quick side when he was narrowly beaten by Stop Road Lad over this course and distance in October.
