A former C&D hurdles winner, THE DARA MAN arrives having posted a career-best display when successful over fences at Navan 4 weeks ago and he gets the nod to confirm the improvement shown then back over smaler obstacles. Noble Birth ran just a fair race on Thursday, but may still do better and is feared most, ahead of Harvey's Quay.
