THE HOLY ONE has now had nine starts over hurdles without winning and though well beaten at Leopardstown last time was tackling 2m4f. His overall form just about gives him the edge though he doesn't look particularly good value. Generalisation had shown potential in two runs on good ground but he ran a shocker on slightly easier going at Down Royal though that didn't look his form. Mason Jar has produced decent efforts at Limerick and Clonmel though both over much further while the newcomer Stowie Belle has a stayer's pedigree.
