KILLDUNNE attracted good support over the C&D last time and very nearly did the business. He quickened really well to lead at the second last that day but idled on the run-in and was caught close home. Compensation awaits here though Hawkins Street will be no pushover if improving from his run at Bellewstown in July where he stayed on strongly to snatch second place over 2m1f. Katys Girl has run in decent company but just can't find the pace to get competitive and may need a longer trip. Winning point-to-pointer Let The Show Begin finished runner-up in the 3m3f La Touche Cup at Punchestown last year and this looks much too short.
