Verdict

This is very tricky despite the small field. Even though SMALL TOWN HERO probably wants better ground, he had been going well for the Donoghue team before being pulled up last time and gets the tentative nod. Chase winner Well Del is yet to convince over timber but may do better here. The 2021 Munster National winner Ontheropes was runner-up in a steadily run affair last time and needs to back up that performance. [Denis Harney]
