Mountain Fox has won over hurdles around here but could probably do with even more rain. Buttons And Bows, runner-up over this trip at Clonmel last month, scored over hurdles at Killarney on Sunday while The Truant has been running well over shorter on soft ground, scoring easily at Sligo in August. The latter just had Derrinlaur behind when they were placed over 1m6f at Listowel and there's nothing between them again but this can go to RUMI (NAP). Rachael Blackmore was on board when the former UK-trained Flat winner made an impressive debut over hurdles for new connections at Listowel and her mount looks on a very fair mark back on the level. Pale Moonlight started favourite at Navan on the back of a nose defeat at the Galway festival but disappointed.
