Rolling Revenge started favourite for a 3m1f handicap at Punchestown on the back of a fair run at Tipperary but was disappointing. He probably needs further than this but LEAP DEARG is looking well handicapped over fences these days. It's a long time since he last won over the bigger obstacles but was only narrowly beaten at Downpatrick in August and his two later efforts were over hurdles. Bilbo Baggins was in decent form most of last winter though is best with plenty of give in the ground and Dundrum Lad may offer more of a threat. Mags Mullins' charge completed a double over hurdles when successful here last September and has won one of his three starts over the bigger obstacles. Well Joey is 0-19 but The Trigger is interesting as he's been in winning form over hurdles and has scored twice over fences from just three starts.
