Give Her Bach has only won once in 18 starts over hurdles but has scored over fences and between the flags. She bounced back with a very good run behind Presenting Mahler at Clonmel a week ago and should again take care of third-placed Italian Riviera. Kennedys Mor has been running at a slightly higher level and would have a definite chance on his second to Buster Dan Dan at Killarney in July but this looks a good opportunity for CLOUDY MORNING. Mike O'Donovan's charge can hardly be described as prolific having won just once in 26 starts over hurdles but he's been running very well all summer and can double his winning tally after a close third at Navan.
