Verdict
Annacarton was a regular winner between the flags but hasn't really progressed over regulation fences though his best run came on this track in October. King Of Ardcarne was runner-up in this a year ago but has been in poor form recently and though Hold Em Cowboy ran his best race for some time at Naas last month he's still 4lb higher than for his only success over fences. If she could transfer her hurdling form to fences, Shesonlyahorse would be very well handicapped but the safest option looks to be CLASHNABROOK. He won over this trip on heavy ground at Gowran in November and returned to form over hurdles with a superb effort behind the very well handicapped Colbert Station at Punchestown earlier this month.
