Bottom weight Grallagh showed signs of life last time and could be interesting in cheekpieces on her first run in a handicap. Megara shaped better at Clonmel and could be thereabouts, while Cottonvale has C&D form to his name and is also respected. However, POORMANS HILL has looked a rejuvenated character in two wins over fences and, if he can show the same level of form over hurdles off a much lower mark, he is going to take plenty of beating.
