Adrianne Foley has won this twice in the past four years so Mr Clyde, an improved performer over hurdles at the beginning of the year, will get a good ride. Maggie Connolly is bred for jumping but showed plenty of pace to land a Wexford bumper on her racecourse debut early last month and has the invaluable assistance of Katie Walsh here. Gowran bumper winner Bohola Lady found 1m4f much too short at Galway last time but with Nina Carberry on board looks certain to make her presence felt though SWIFTMARC is the form pick on his recent efforts on the flat and over timber and gets the vote despite having one of the most inexperienced pilots in the saddle.
