Race preview
WEE SMALL HOURS pulled well clear of the third when finishing second at Navan three weeks ago and was probably unlucky to bump into a decent sort on the day. He looks made for chasing and is taken to get the better of Canny Tom, who has proved frustrating to follow in his career so far, and Knockraha King, who also has an unfortunate habit of finishing second. Dr Moloney and Ardera Cross are also fancied to go well.
