Wilde Wit Pleasure has failed to complete in two recent starts over fences and will no doubt be pleased to get back to hurdling where he had looked promising early this year. George Travis easily landed a moderate chase at Downpatrick in May but was beaten when a hot favourite on a return visit a fortnight later. CAFFEINE CRAZE is best at around this trip as she showed when beating a big field at Punchestown and she found 2m4f too short at Ballinrobe last time. She can make good use of the allowance received from the in-form Russian War, who is on the upgrade but prone to running out.
