Ibetellingyoualie last won at Navan a year ago and is a couple of pounds out of the handicap but is still likely to get into contention in receipt of lumps of weight from MOUNT COLAH (NAP). But the latter has been performing at a much higher level, including in Grade 2 races, on his last two starts and his overall form suggests he's the one to beat. Followmeuptocarlow hasn't won for almost two years but is still higher in the weights, though he's failed to take advantage of a lower mark over hurdles the last twice. Fever Pitch has run poorly lately and is held by the selection on earlier running while Canaly hasn't won for over three years.
