Misdflight has been unlucky not to add to his lone victory over hurdles having been carried out over fences at Killarney last time. He looks on a fair mark and can go well while Stonehall Jack should make a bold bid despite being 8lb higher than his victory at Kilbeggan in August. Katie Do, who completed a hat-trick last summer, looked on the way back when runner-up at Listowel and can't have been right when pulling up at Gowran three weeks ago. MOSS GROVE (NAP) has done well for a horse rated in the 80s having won three times over regulation fences. He went up 6lb for scoring at Ballinrobe last month but made a bold bid to follow up over 3m1f here last week, only headed at the last after leading at this trip. Final Gift will enjoy the conditions and this is his trip and he's only 4lb higher than his victory at Tramore in May.
