Verdict
DIRECT FIRE is a half-brother to the smart Mr Mole and beat a decent field in a point at Moira in April last year. He'll be ready for this and can take care of Master McShee, though the latter made a very encouraging hurdling bow behind the long odds-on Appreciate It on this track with the remainder in the next parish. Atlantic Fairy attempted to make all over 2m3f at Clonmel and was only headed two out so should be suited by the trip while Wanchu Bach never got involved at Punchestown but will undoubtedly come on for the experience.
