Dual bumper winner The Grey Express wouldn't need to be a world-beater to make a winning start over timber and should be suited by this trip. Definite All Star has been looking one-paced in his races to date so stepping up to 2m4f should be just what's required. He looks certain to get involved but conceding 13lbs to MAKE MY NIGHT may be beyond him as the mare shows she stays well with a fine run behind Bean Chroi Bhriste over 2m2f at Sligo. Harrington scored on the level for Dermot Weld and is one to keep an eye on as he makes his hurdling debut.
