Lady Mccabe completed a double in the spring and is on a lower mark than her last victory. She failed to take advantage of a much lower hurdles mark last time but winning point-to-pointer MERRY MOVES made a very encouraging debut over fences when just failing to concede 12lb to the winner over this trip at Fairyhouse. Sanibel Island keeps changing stables but Mick Hourigan appears to have found the key and he still looks on a tempting mark despite completing a double. Exciting Oscar's only victory came on this track two years ago and he's been given a chance by the handicapper.
