The top weight Notwhatiam was engaged in a novices' chase here yesterday but if taking his chance here would have to be considered on a very good run at Thurles in October. West Coast Time won a Gowran maiden in heavy going before taking on much better company. This is his grade and he looks a threat to all though the four-year-old Off You Go also looks a danger after a promising handicap debut on heavy going at Thurles last month. MICK THE JIVER (NAP) was in excellent form over fences in the spring, completing a double in testing conditions. A couple of recent runs will have put him straight and he can revert to hurdles on a 31lb lower mark so looks the one to be on.
