Holiday In Kerry beat Kingston Kid just over two lengths at Cork and will only be 2lb worse off so should confirm the form. The latter's yard also run KING FERDINAND, whose head second at Cork was his best run over hurdles for a very long time - he can go one better. Though Townhill Penny had no answer to Desert Heather at Kilbeggan, she is on the same mark so should be competitive. Alfieri gained his only victory to date over this track and trip in June but is now 12lb higher. Atlantian was 12 lengths behind the selection at Cork but has a big enough pull in the weights to make his presence felt.
