Japers Jack attempted to make all over this trip at Limerick last month but found no extra when headed two out, though wasn't beaten far. He had Easy Fella behind and should confirm the form while winning bumper Mister Bo will have found 2m much too short at Navan. Dual bumper winner Misty's Gift stays the trip though his form so far has been on quicker going and he finished behind SIR ARGUS over just short of this trip at Thurles. The latter, a winning bumper, has been an expensive failure so far over timber but his overall form puts him in the driving seat. Patricks Hill was staying on over 2m4f at Punchestown so should be suited by the extra.
