Halls Bridge won a similar contest over the course and distance on good going a year ago and with ground conditions in his favour should put a poor reappearance over hurdles at Cork behind him. Cinder Rua has changed stables and her best form has been on ground with plenty of give as she showed when landing a maiden hurdle at Ayr in January. Stonehall Jack has been placed several times over fences without winning and is now on his lowest ever mark but Personal Shopper is still a maiden over fences after 21 starts though she's gone very close on a couple of occasions. LASH IT ON hasn't run since June and his last victory was in 2013 but that's never a problem for one from his stable and if anything like to his best he'll take some beating.
