AINE'S LAD (6) provided best form eleven days ago scoring by 9L attempting a 4600m handicap hurdle on testing ground at Thurles. The seven-year-old has been progressive this season. Leading chance. DUCE BIGALOW (8) placed second twice from the last three outings including on heavy ground. Did well a month ago when 6L runner-up in a 4800m handicap chase at Navan. Main danger. PLAIN OR BATTERED (9) showed plenty of ability in the same Navan event when third that day. Enjoys this going and may build on that effort. Interesting. BALDUR'S GATE (4) brings two course and distance placings. Worth a second look.
