Ever Dreaming ran very well behind City Hustler in a Ballinrobe handicap over this trip in June but has failed to impress when tried over further in subsequent starts. Got Options and Ta Blazes have shown plenty of promise in bumpers, particularly the former who was having his first start since December when runner-up in what looked a very hot Listowel event last month. Colm Murphy's charge will be a threat if he takes to hurdling but the more experienced SPILL THE BEANS may just have the edge this time. Henry De Bromhead's charge showed promise in bumpers and made a fine start over timber at Punchestown in May when just failing to make all and finishing a close third to Sandymount Lady. He's had a break since unshipping his rider at Listowel the following month but should be ready for this.
