The current form of the Joseph O'Brien-trained LINGER is hard to ignore, running well in a number of starts since May. The Cape Cross gelding can get the better of Conron winner at Clonmel in April before running well in defeat at the Galway festival on the Flat and more recently at Killarney over hurdles. In a wide open contest, recent Tramore runner-up, Cliff House, Upgraded for the Tony Martin Yard and bottom weight Mastermind representing the Charles O'Brien yard could all go well at a price.
