Lucky William was unfortunate not to make a winning start over fences when falling at the second last while in command at Tipperary. He should make a decent chaser this campaign as should Son Of Oscar, who would have finished a long way behind in that Tipperary event but improved subsequently and is another likely to do well over the winter. FORJOETHEPLUMBER was unlucky not to lose his maiden tag over fences last year and a recent run here in testing conditions hands him a fitness advantage which he can exploit. Michael Hourigan tries Hans Crescent in blinkers after a couple of very poor recent performances over fences.
