The Mags Mullins-trained GUNFIRE REEF produced a career best when second of seven on his latest start over fences in a Sligo handicap last month behind Shanklys Dawn and can continue his development over the larger obstacles by landing this contest. Potential improver, Jamesmichael, Sligo winner, Select Opportunity and Shanklys Dawn who comes here on a hat-trick of wins are all capable of hitting the frame.
