Verdict
A low-grade handicap with only Breezy Bell having won here and that was over 2m. Falvio was staying on over the minimum at Naas so this trip should suit while Chainofconsequence won over the trip at Limerick in November and was narrowly beaten over fences last time. Happy Dreams completed a double over fences in the autumn but has failed to take advantage of a much lower hurdles mark in his last two starts, though ran well at Navan last time. Wee Charlie ran his best race to date at Punchestown last month but a chance is taken with JUMP THE SHARK, who was making his handicap debut when staying on into fourth at Naas when Falvio finished runner-up.
