A highly competitive handicap in which WESTERN MODEL is taken to gain a breakthrough success over fences on the back of his very good Punchestown second. Excellent Killarney runner-up Jeu de Pic is feared most, although the likes of Jimli's Cave, Meehall, General Hubble and Smitty Bacall all enter calculations in this wide-open contest.
