Zoffalee bids for a third win in four starts and a four-year-old won this last year. Bridge Native has a poor strike-rate but is often placed and has each-way claims again, as does previous course and distance winner Touch Of Gold. Penny Out won a Punchestown maiden in June and makes her handicap debut, though was below her best when favourite for a maiden on the Flat last month. ST LAWRENCE GAP won this in 2017. He’s been running consistently over fences this year and the booking of the in-form Darragh O’Keeffe for his return to hurdling is a massive plus.
