Daigreen won this way back in 2014 from an 8lb higher mark though he'd been in excellent form leading up to the race unlike now. Silent Sun hasn't run badly in two starts from his revised mark after his narrow victory at Limerick but Tintown Robin has proved himself better on faster ground. MULLINAVAT (NAP) will be very difficult to beat as he's a massive 32lb lower over hurdles than fences after a facile victory over the bigger obstacles here in August. He'd been a close second over hurdles here in June and should get off the mark. Rock On Bach was beaten a long way by the selection over fences but did much better when a close third over timber at Clonmel though he now has a career record of 0-31. Mac Cennetig hasn't done enough to warrant a big weight on his handicap debut while Courtin Bb's victory on the track was over 2m5f.
