FIGHT FOR LOVE produced a career best last time at Fairyhouse to break his maiden. He was very game in the closing stages of that race which suggests he is tough so take him to follow up with 5lb extra on his back here. Billy's Angel is also already a winner over hurdles and although his last two runs have been below his best, he can bounce back with a big run, while Knockanora Lady ran well on her latest appearance when she was third at Thurles and should once again be in the mix in the closing stages of this contest.
