Time For Mabel is penalised for his victories on the Flat in France but should be winning soon for new connections after a decent hurdling debut and a run on the level at Bellewstown. Rocky Court had looked a certain future winner when placed on his reappearance at Limerick after a long break but he's been beaten a long way in his two subsequent starts. SAM KING looked as though he needed a stiffer test of stamina when dead-heating for second at Tramore last weekend. In the expectation that there will be a strong gallop this time, he gets the vote. Way Wild West had strong form in bumpers and his close third behind Golantilla over hurdles at Thurles in November would be good enough for this but he disappointed when favourite on his return here last month.
