Several to consider in this competitive handicap, with HILLSDALE topping the list. The 6-y-o has really got it together over fences the last twice and while an 11 lb rise for his latest success at Clonmel will ask a question of him, he may nevertheless prove equal to the task. Black Bamboo is open to improvement and he is second choice ahead of Canal End and Prince Palace.
