The WELSHMAN is in fine form and won a graded stales last out packing this weight. It seems like Jack Fisher has been around since Trigger was jumping fences for Roy Rogers.

FREDDY FLINTSHIRE is 7/3/2/2 over the fences and won the Queens Cup under Hendriks. Likes the distance and carries only 148. Has won at Saratoga.

NOAH AND THE ARK packs topweight 158 as a Grade 1 winner but cuts back to a distance at which he may tolerate the burden.

HISTORIC HEART got 4th in this race last year after stumbling at fence #7. Had a decent prep at the Deli on the flat and has won off a "jump layoff". Figures to go well here.

The trick here was to start the P3 with the Irish breds I suppose.
