DO IT FOR DALKEY jumped superbly to land a handicap over C&D last week on only his second start over fences. A 7lb penalty shouldn't be a problem and he can complete a quick double. Paddys Unyoke, who was over six lengths back in third, can get closer but is unlikely to reverse the form while Native Coll remains a few pounds high in the weights. The latter fell in the race won by Schindlers Society at Ayr earlier this month in which Seek The Truth, Prince Tam and Dark Gentleman were well beaten. Panthers Run has run 47 times over jumps and won once, a 2m1f handicap over fences in 2009, so is probably worth opposing again here.
