Verdict
HOLEINTHEWALL BAR (NAP) easily landed a handicap over fences at Down Royal on New Year's Eve and was in touch when falling at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago. Gordon Elliott takes advantage of a lower hurdles rating here and another victory looks on the cards. Kick On Boss has fallen in three of his last four starts over fences so it's no surprise to see him reverting to the smaller obstacles though he's not so well treated. Peculiar Genius won a minor Tramore handicap on New Year's Day and went up 7lb which appeared to anchor him at Gowran three weeks later. Admiral Brian has some smart form on heavy ground and has won here in the past so any further rain would put him in the picture.
