There are plenty of question marks against the runners in this. Manuka is better handicapped over fences than hurdles and the reverse is true of Meadow Cross. The former has a top rider booked and looks sure to go close at this lowly level. Meadow Cross may prove better than she has shown so far and Presenting Beara could make his presence felt if going off in front. The reserve Templemichael would be the selection if getting into the race after an unfortunate mishap last time when going well. Fenlons Hill can be difficult to catch right although he has been on his best behaviour lately. CANIWILLYEGIVEME was unlucky to be caught close home last time but this should be run to suit with Presenting Beara likely to give him a good lead into the race
