Seskin Flyer was all out to win a scrap to the line over course and distance last time and is 6lb higher today. CUBOMANIA is the fresher horse given he was having his first start since July when making a winning debut for Gordon Elliott’s yard at Down Royal on Boxing Day and he’s fancied to strike again while the iron is hot. Miracle Cure ran well here back in August and Let’s High Five it slips further down the weights while Racing Again arrives off the back of a point-to-point success but has yet to win over hurdles in nine attempts.
