Uncle Gerhard has experience over fences having finished fifth at Clonmel and his form over hurdles entitles him to respect. Tomas O Maille pulled up in both starts between the flags but has done better over hurdles being placed four times in six starts. GOOD WORLD is a three-times winner over timber and his third behind El Champo at Kilbeggan has been boosted with the winner scoring again twice subsequently. He's taken to make a successful chasing debut though Battle Of Ridgeway arrives in winning form having landed a handicap over timber at Clonmel, his first sign of ability.
