Point The Toes won this in 2011, Ordinary Man was successful a year later, and The Bold Beckey scored 12 months ago. All three are higher in the weights this time and none arrive in the best of form though Luke Dempsey's claim can aid the cause of the former, whose only subsequent victory came on the Flat. Indian Fairy is another with a course and distance victory to her credit having landed a maiden in August but she ran moderately on her handicap debut at Galway. Four times Flat winner Corr Pont has never won in 19 starts over jumps and does better on quicker ground so this can go to LADY OLWYN (NAP). John Larkin's mare likes soft ground and has won following a break in the past. She gained her fourth success over hurdles at Sligo in May and had every chance when falling at the last when reverting to fences at Ballinrobe a few days later. Perrie Hill is a still a maiden and has produced his best runs over longer trips.
