Leading owner Barry Connell has done well since taking out a license and Karen's Gift made most in a Roscommon maiden. That was on good ground but KITTY GALORE's victory at Limerick was on soft going and she's taken to defy a 7lb rise. Chosen Hour won over fences at Punchestown in January by 29 lengths and the three-times winning hurdler would be a threat if fit enough after a long break while Top Line Tommy has shown plenty of ability in maidens and makes his handicap debut. Happy Company won on the Flat in August and ran his best race over hurdles at Listowel last month while Jazz Ranger didn't get the run of the race at Roscommon after a battling victory at Tramore.
