GUNFIRE REEF got of the mark for connections at the 11th time of asking over the larger obstacles, winning a 15-runner Punchestown handicap last month off an 8lb lower mark and can confound his new mark in a weaker event here. Cowboy Des Long can emerge as the biggest danger following a fine run at Tramore earlier this month, while Fr Humphrey and Loch Luatha are capable of hitting the frame.
