| Fair handicap chaser at best who was first past the post in handicap at Killarney in October, demoted for causing interference. However, he's struggled in 3 starts for current yard, including back over hurdles at Tramore a month ago. Now tried in blinkers. | ||||||||

| After a poor run tried over hurdles, showed improved form quickly back chasing when third in a Tramore handicap in April. Did enough to confirm that effort when sixth of 12 over 2m at Wexford last time, shaping as if a return to further should suit. Enters calculations. | ||||||||

BIG ISLAND may well have won but for falling late on at Tramore on his final outing last summer, so he could be ready to open his account racing off the same mark here. He gets the vote ahead of chase-debutante Ellies Rock, who has shown improved form over hurdles this year, while L'Amiral Fromentin is another to consider back up in trip. |
