Mister Butler was a 50/1 chance over fences at Fairyhouse last month which is hardly surprising given his previous form but he was there with every chance when falling two out in the race won by Samson Bill, who runs earlier. ANALYSE THAT (NAP) had even worse form figures before tacking this course and distance a fortnight ago but attracted some support and never really looked in any danger. A 6lb rise looks lenient and a double looks on the cards. Punches Pious, who was beaten 7l into third, looked to have every chance while Lets High Five It was beaten a long way into second at Clonmel.
