Daliyan's two victories have come on heavy going but Call Me Pj won't mind the conditions and he ran well on the Flat a couple of weeks ago. Argentino easily landed a maiden over this trip at Clonmel and subsequent runs have been over further. Pepparpot won the third and most recent of his maiden races at Cork in 2013 but he's been in very good form on the Flat recently and could be nicely treated for his handicap debut over timber. Shabra's Bertolini found 2m4f stretching his stamina last time after some fine performances over this trip while Master Appeal looks progressive enough to make a bold bid. To Choose was beaten in handicaps off this sort of mark before landing a Fairyhouse maiden but it's difficult to ignore the claims of BOG WAR on his hat-trick attempt. He's won two big-field handicaps in recent weeks and though 9lb higher than last week's Fairyhouse victory David Mullins' claim takes care of more than half of the extra.
