Mr Nobody has yet to reach a place in 14 starts but the combination of Tony Martin, Ruby Walsh and first-time blinkers could have the desired effect. Magdoodle had shown little before an impressive victory at Navan but is up 8lb as a consequence. Days Of Glory ran his best race to date at Clonmel last month but is still looking high in the weights but TOOMDEELY, who scored over fences at Listowel last time, is very well treated if able to transfer that form to hurdles and gets the vote. Castle Ranger survived an enquiry to score for Mikey O'Connor at Downpatrick on Saturday but his trainer/rider suggested he needed ground with plenty of give and doesn't look like getting it here. D's Trix won a chase at Tramore in August and isn't out of this back over timber.
