Plenty with chances including Whoyakodding, who returned to form over fences at Tramore and can revert to hurdles on a 13lb lower mark. Little Token has gradually dropped to a winnable mark and showed a bit more dash at Tramore on New Year's Day while it's about time Get Home was winning though connections are having problems finding his best trip. The Grey Guy ran his best race for a very long time at Thurles last month while Mr Bercow, who had shown virtually nothing in maidens, came in for strong support on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse but fell at the second. Winning point-to-pointer SEANGOELL looks ready to get off the mark under Rules having run well in his last two starts including here in December.
