Plenty of theses are making progress and are likely to be suited by the trip but it's about time OUR VINNIE was winning and this looks a god opportunity. He was strongly fancied to land a similar event at Leopardstown last month but was run out of it by Willie Mullins newcomer Ballycasey, who looks a nice prospect. The Crafty Butcher ran well to finish third in that event on his debut under Rules and can improve while the likes of winning point-to-pointer A Blow In, the progressive Irish Thistle, and Supreme Bob, who looked in need of further when staying on over 2m at Cork, can all have their say.
