Draycott Place has gained eight of his ten victories over fences and though 28lb lower over hurdles he's failed to take advantage of that much lower mark in the past. Staged Engagement has raced exclusively in the UK including his last three starts at Uttoxeter where he won a bumper last summer though he looks high enough in the weights for his handicap debut. Ificudiwud also has his first start in a handicap but looked a likely future winner when headed right on the line at Down Royal so should make a bold bid to go one better. However, he has to concede plenty of weight to CHAPARRAL DREAM (NAP), who won twice at Dundalk in February and has gradually improved over hurdles, staying on well over slightly shorter in a Roscommon handicap last time. Circling Moon won three times on the Flat last summer but hasn't shown much over timber while Baby Bellini was engaged in the 8.40 here last night.
