FREEWHEELIN DYLAN was always travelling comfortably when beating Kilkishen over this trip at Kilbeggan and was eased right down at the finish. He should have no problems confirming the form while Aherlow was a bit disappointing on his return to action at Ballinrobe and will need to do much better. Wonderoftheworld has yet to win over fences and hasn't proved he stays this far while Static Jack hasn't run over fences for almost two years. High Sparrow makes his handicap debut over fences and will need to show more than he has so far.
