SOME OFFICER is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and though he hasn't been running well for a while he's dropped to his lowest mark as a consequence and can take advantage. Theturnofthesun produced easily his best run over hurdles at Bellewstown though he'd dropped to 2m1f and didn't go so well in earlier starts over this trip. Magnetic Force has four victories to his credit over hurdles though his best form has been over shorter and Effernock Lad hasn't been seen since disappointing at Navan in September. Mr Mulliner hasn't been placed in nine starts and is on the same mark as his last defeat.
