UP FOR REVIEW, a Grade 2 winning novice hurdler, was having his first start in almost two years and making his chasing debut when runner-up to Some Neck here last month and should prove a cut above these. Fire In His Eyes is the logical danger as the dual hurdles winner has gradually got his act together over fences and will be suited by the drop in trip after travelling well for a long way over 2m7f at Clonmel. Golan Lodge may be good enough to snatch a place without troubling the principals.
