Arahecan is a work in progress and will have come on greatly for his chasing debut at Cork. Brawler has won on the Flat and over hurdles and made a bright start for new connections on his debut over fences at Fairyhouse but WHEREYOUNOW (NAP) is handed the vote. Three-times a winning hurdler, he could do even better over fences judging by a very good run behind the smart Epson Du Houx at Clonmel and he's taken to go one better. Reine Fee didn't appreciate heavy ground at Cork after a much better run at Fairyhouse while Axiomatic has been well beaten in both starts over the bigger obstacles.
