Even Flight is still a maiden after 13 starts, the last two over fences. But he made a very promising debut at Wexford and was in the lead when falling at halfway at Cork. Winning hurdler Brawler has been placed in six of eight starts over fences so has to be on the shortlist along with Ennemi Public, though the latter could find this on the short side. Imperial View also appears to need further but Mattie's Mountain found 2m5f stretching his stamina at Cork. Regina Dracones unseated her rider on her chasing debut at Cork and her two victories over timber at Fairyhouse last winter came over 2m7f. JOESWAYORNOWAY has only won once over hurdles, here in March, but has a chaser's pedigree and he's given a speculative vote on his debut over fences in a race where many of his rivals need further.
