CRAFTY CODGER essentially won a race within a race at Cork last time out on the Flat, sticking his neck out to take second behind a very easy winner. He runs off the same mark here and with more of that attitude should prove a tough nut to crack. House Limit has been out of form, but does to go well at this venue, this time of year so any money around for him would be worth noting. Kalann can take close order if building on his previous effort at Leopardstown while top weight Papal Motel has been in decent heart over timber and may go well back on the level.
