Good As Hell scored over 2m3f here in October and reappeared with a fine run over 2m7f at Clonmel so could find this on the short side. Know The Game was caught on the line at Tramore for which he's been handed a 4lb rise but Coole Arcade, who has won over hurdles here, has only had four starts over fences and scored at Wexford so has to be respected with ground conditions in his favour. JACK HOLIDAY finished runner-up in this a year ago and scored over hurdles here last month so gets the nod in a tight looking handicap.
