Peter Fahey has two entries and Mine Now is no forlorn hope after a cracking effort in a Galway handicap though he doesn't have the quality of Peregrine Run. The latter has won nine of his 25 races over jumps including a Grade B at Killarney in August, when Supreme Vinnie was a long way behind, and was placed at Grade 2 level last time. Cap D'Aubois had some smart form to his credit with Willie Mullins but ran poorly at Listowel last month and has changed stables. DINARIA DES OBEAUX (NAP) won over the minimum on this card a year ago when returning from an absence. He also won at Listed and Grade 2 level over 2m4f later and though tackling this trip for the first time has the class to make a successful reappearance.
