Barel Of Laughs, runner-up in a point-to-point, has done well enough over hurdles and should do even better over the bigger obstacles. Hidden Profit looks moderate despite being placed last time but Portrait King is just the type for chasing as he made a winning debut between the flags a couple of years ago and has produced good efforts in bumpers and over hurdles. He should go well on his debut but CELTIC WISH looks the one to be on as he produced a fine debut run over fences at Ballinrobe when only a couple of lengths behind the potentially decent Sorceror. Mighty Snazy has been in good form on fast ground over hurdles but this is very different.
