On My Own went up 7lb for his victory over 2m2f here in November and ran poorly over today's trip at Punchestown subsequently. He probably wants further but Masterofthebree is best over the minimum and on testing ground so should go well. Diamond Shower finished a long way behind On My Own here but was in touch at today's trip and can get much closer as he had run very well on his previous start at Limerick. Fiery Oscar fell at the last when staying on strongly over this trip at Gowran before finding 2m6f much too far when strongly fancied at Navan. MARK ME UP has always looked better over further but reverted to today's trip at Limerick last time and produced his best effort over hurdles so gets the vote to go one better.
