The Gatechecker has been running over hurdles and ran out the last time he tackled fences. Jamie Codd's presence on Consharon Boy suggests the recent Kilbeggan winner will be ready for this and he won't mind the conditions but Derek O'Connor can steer DONT KICK NOR BITE home in the McManus colours. He followed a fine second place over hurdles at Galway with another over fences at Kilbeggan and still looks reasonably treated. Peacocks Secret has some decent form though over much shorter while Justmemyselfandi has never won over fences and jumped poorly at Tramore last time.
