CIEL DE NEIGE has now had nine races over timber without winning but has raced in much stronger company and been narrowly beaten in Grade 3 handicaps at Cheltenham and Newbury. He reappeared with a fair effort in a tough Fairyhouse handicap and though he'll be a short price this should be his day. Double Jemmy has run moderately on the Flat since placed in a couple of maiden hurdles while Fix The Bill has performed with credit in maidens at Gowran and Clonmel. Bulldoze started off over hurdles with a fair run at Fairyhouse but ran a shocker at Tramore earlier this month.
