CLINTON HILL was attempting to concede 9lb to Dunvegan when beaten 6l at Fairyhouse but the winner had more experience so it didn't look a bad run. He'll have come on a bundle for the outing and can get the better of Nearly Man. Gordon Elliott's charge attracted little support at Leopardstown but wasn't beaten far at the finish and is another to have benefited from the experience. All For Joy led for a long way over hurdles at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day having been a close second over this track and trip a month earlier so he enters calculations. Leave Your Mark is another to have run well over timber and he's interesting in a bumper while Deal With It and Maddenstown are both very well connected and are newcomers to note.
