Wolfofallstreets won three races last winter and didn't look suited by heavy going on his hat-trick bid at Wexford in March. TRY AGAIN (NAP) was well beaten at this fixture a year ago but ended his campaign in November with a cracking effort behind Janidil, who was in the middle of a hat-trick, at Down Royal. That's the best form on view and hopefully he'll be fit enough for this. Ardamir carried a big weight to victory at Ballinrobe and is respected, despite a 5lb rise, while Hybery can't have been right when well beaten at Kilbeggan after an easy victory at Wexford. The veteran Bective Cave has gone up 9lb for his victory at Kilbeggan in July and has disappointed over fences subsequently
