18:30 Tipperary

With a win and a close second THE NIFFLER arrives here at the top of his game. His win came at Naas last month over 2 and a half miles and back in trip he was beaten less than a length at Clonmel last time. He has only gone up 2lb for that and the winner Tingarran Express has run well since to finish second at this track so the form has substance. If he gets a good pace to aim at which he should with Champagne Saloon and Simply Shabra likely to take each other on then he could be the one finishing best. Morepowertoya was the horse that beat Tingarran Express here last time so looks the danger but an 8lb rise definitely makes life tougher.
