DEANO (NAP) won a handicap over hurdles here in November and made a very satisfactory start over fences at Clonmel when just outstayed by Mr Cosmopolitan. That should have put him right for this and there doesn't look too much to trouble him. Magical Moon won just once in 22 starts over hurdles and didn't impress on his chasing bow over much further here in November while Kinsale point-to-point winner Native Que is likely to need this after a long absence. Third Opinion has run eight times over fences and failed to finish in half of them while Writteninthestars was beaten a long way when last of four on his debut over the larger obstacles.
