Pittoni is the interesting one here on his first start over timber in a handicap as he landed the Grade 1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle here a year ago. He had earlier beaten Doctor Deejay narrowly off level weights so the latter must have a chance of reversing the form on these terms. The Shepherd King made a winning start over timber but couldn't cope with Grade 1 company at Fairyhouse and makes his handicap debut here. Top weight Ainama has plenty of class but would prefer further unlike Cass Bligh, who found 2m4f at Naas stretching his stamina after a comfortable success over this trip at Clonmel. Denis Hogan will ensure there is no hanging about on KYLEBEG KRYSTLE as his mount scored over 2m4f at Cork before just being run out of it by Golden Sunbird over 2m2f here. She's still appears capable of better and gets the nod in a very competitive affair. Tijuana Dancer ran poorly here last time after several good efforts and that wasn't his form.
