A moderate handicap and difficult to solve but the booking of Ruby Walsh for GRAND FELLA may prove enough. The five-year-old has won only once - a maiden hurdle on this track a year ago - but Walsh was on board when his mount ran well behind Super Daisy at Navan last time and that form could be good enough for this. Arguidos is progressing nicely and battled to a narrow victory over 2m3f at Cork on Sunday. Today's longer trip will hold no fears and he should make a bold bid to defy a small penalty. Evolution fell at the second last when there with a chance in the race won by Breeze With Ease at Downpatrick last month. He's one with a definite chance and he should take care of Baynes Cross, who finished fourth that day.
