A very competitive entry for the money with JERANDME just getting the nod. A winning bumper and hurdler on this track, he's now won seven of his 15 starts and his close fourth behind Brahma Bull in a Grade B handicap at Punchestown puts him in the driver's seat. The Dabbler ran an excellent race in the Mayo National at Ballinrobe and a 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big effort while Ah Littleluck made all for a 19-length victory at Wexford and has only been raised 7lb. Rapid Response gained reward for some fine runs when landing a Grade B mares' handicap at Punchestown and there should be more to come from Jessica Harrington's seven-year-old. Dromore Lad stays extreme distances but could do with some rain.
