Itsalonglongroad has won three times from five starts here but has changed stables after beaten in a Dundalk claimer. Irregularheartbeat gained a surprise victory over hurdles at Fairyhouse but has so far failed to fire over fences. Bellgrove likes it around here and pops up every now and then when conditions are favourable, as they were when he had Clody Valley nine lengths behind at Thurles in October. He's well into the veteran stage and 4lb out of the handicap but is not one to dismiss. No Logic is still a maiden but hasn't had too much racing and has been waiting for the ground while HOLLYBANK KING gained his only success on good going at Thurles in February. He didn't run well at Navan last time but is generally consistent and can double his winning tally.
