Several of these arrive in really good heart including the aptly named BANGONFORM. He'd been chasing without much promise but reverted to hurdling on a much lower mark at Tramore and could hardly have been more impressive, scoring by 13l. He's been raised 10lb but will be very hard to beat in that kind of form. Face Facts has won two of his last three though the latest victory at Sligo last month was by courtesy of the stewards and a 9lb rise may prove too much to handle. Wall Street Wally has ben making good progress and landed a Downpatrick maiden in good style though this is much tougher. Get In There ran really well over the C&D last month before scoring at Galway and her rider's claim is a bonus while Rodriguez has to be a threat to all after his demolition job when stepped up in trip for the first time at Kilbeggan. Ordinary Man is a decent chaser who can run from a 21lb lower mark over timber and is another to consider.
