Call Me Pj did well to score at Ballinrobe and a repeat would see him in the frame under his regular rider while The Mad Well hails from a yard in form and probably didn't enjoy the very testing ground at Sligo last time. Afatcat ran two very good races at the Galway Festival and looks a threat to all though Willie Mullins looks to have found another winning opportunity for KING'S WHARF (NAP). A winner over hurdles at Killarney, he's since won twice over fences going up 27lb in the process so he now looks on a very tempting mark back over timber. Little Haarth was in very good form before heading to Galway where he appeared to find 2m7f taxing his stamina.
