Stamina has been the forte of Back Of The Pack in her three victories over fences, all over longer trips, and she may just get outpaced here. She has a Grade 3 penalty to carry for her victory over Beau Michael at Cork, as does BLAZING TEMPO for her success at this level over today's rival Cool Quest at Clonmel. Willie Mullins' charge is another who would prefer further but should have enough speed to deal with the runner-up again and also see off useful hurdler Tramp Stamp, a faller at the last when looking held by Cool Quest earlier at Clonmel. Inch Native, a debut winner under Rules at Listowel in June, looks best of the remainder.
