Arthur's Quay is 0-12 over fences and worth opposing again. BLUE HAWAII was only caught in the shadows of the post when making his debut over the larger obstacles here last month and should again beat fourth Getaway Jewel, who is more exposed. Of those having a first run over fences today, Limerick Leader catches the eye ahead of Ring Pretender.
