FormscanBy Mark Nunan - No great depth in this 10-runner affair and HEES DYNAMITE (1) has plenty going for him despite top weight. The three-time hurdles winner has struck in two of his six starts over fences, including a course and distance contest just under a year ago. He's still 7lb higher than for that victory, but ran well over hurdles at Killarney a couple of times this summer and was well supported when finishing fourth in a higher-grade handicap chase at Listowel. Darragh O'Keeffe’s presence in the plate can only enhance his prospects. Mount Shenshan recorded a second Clonmel hurdles' victory last week, but she's a 13-race maiden in this discipline and doesn't appeal as one likely to relish the final ascent at Ballybrit. A 20-length winner at Ballinrobe, Swing Time was pulled up lame at Sligo last week. It clearly wasn't anything too serious and Val O'Brien's youngster is turned out again quickly with cheekpieces now fitted. %0A%0A%0A%0A%0A
