Verdict
ACT IN TIME can be a little hit-or-miss but he is 3-3 around here and won this last year when 5lb lower. A spin over hurdles will have blown away any cobwebs and Padraig Roche’s charge should take all the beating again. Galway third Stormey is now 0-13 over fences but Scheu Time is making his handicap debut over the larger obstacles and has to be of interest. Ballyegan Hero rarely runs a bad race and Ar Eagla Na Heagla is fit from the Flat. After a second here last month, Smithscorner won at Galway last month and should go close again despite a 5lb rise.
