The weights are quite compressed here and Double Scores looks to have a decent chance of completing a double after last month's easy victory at Limerick though that was on very heavy ground and he isn't so effective on this going. JUST GET CRACKING made a winning debut over fences here in October 2015 and has been a bit unfortunate not to have doubled his tally. He's weighted up to his best but there could be more to come and he gets the vote. Stonehall Jack is 1-25 over fences and though running well at Thurles last time isn't one to trust while Motown Bob has yet to win in 13 career starts.
