GO ALL THE WAY will be at short odds here and should justify them despite disappointing at Killarney where he made too many mistakes. Jim Dreaper's charge, who looked a very smart recruit when scoring twice over fences last summer, needs a confidence-booster before tackling better things and should get it here. Toner D'Oudairies arrives in good heart having scored twice in his last three outings. He started joint-favourite with the selection in a handicap at Killarney in August when receiving 11lb but ran poorly and was pulled up. Days Ahead has been running well on the Flat and scored at Gowran last month before a poor run over hurdles at Listowel but Shabra Charity receives plenty of allowances and finished runner-up in a Grade 2 novice chase at Limerick in April so she's not out of this.
