Eric McNamara's Faltering Fullback returned from well over a year on the sidelines with a fine second over hurdles at Listowel recently, giving the trainer confidence ahead of Sunday's valuable prize.
"He has given us plenty of problems in the past, but he seems to be over all of them and he's in particularly good form at the moment," said McNamara.
