Here For The Craic is approaching the veteran stage and it's exactly a year since he last ran over hurdles but he won on the Flat in August though refused to race at Naas earlier this month. MR MOONDANCE (NAP) has only had four runs in a year and looked ready to win again soon when just failing to hold Presenting Mahler at Sligo and a repeat would see him hard to beat. Arctic Sofia finished runner-up in a maiden here in August and though unable to peg back the winner at Gowran that was an improved run and she should get into contention. Lleyton landed a Downpatrick handicap in August but didn't run anywhere near as well on a return visit last month. Hernandoshideaway ran very well at Navan last time but that was over 2m6f.
