Concordin bounced back to winning ways at Limerick but that was over 2m3f and he's never raced over this trip under Rules. WITNESS OF FASHION isn't the best of jumpers but stays the trip and won't mind the conditions. If he gets round safely he can take this with his young rider' claim a bonus. Rightback Atya is another who gets the trip though he also has problems with the fences. He would have beaten Dinnie's Vinnie easily at Fairyhouse in January but for a last-fence fall and his latest run may have been a confidence booster. The veteran Letter Of Credit hasn't been in the best of form over hurdles and is 14lb higher back over fences.
