Demandrivingdouvan, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper, has changed stables after disappointing on his hurdles debut at Punchestown. Arthor ran poorly on soft ground at Thurles a couple of weeks ago when a long way behind runner-up FREE FLOWING. The latter had little chance with the winner and takes a big step-up in trip but had the remainder well behind and is bred for the distance. Ik's Man ran his best race to date in very testing conditions at Limerick so the more rain the better.
