This is a low-grade handicap and ITSALLHAPPENING is one of the few with scope. Noel Meade's charge was having only his fourth start when strongly supported for a Fairyhouse handicap last month but got behind early and couldn't make up the ground until staying on late. Today's longer trip should prove ideal and he can recoup loses. Rebel Cry, who alternates between hurdles and fences, has won over the minimum trip around here over timber and has no problems with this trip while Coole Craft was still in touch when impeded and unseating his rider at Fairyhouse last time. Queeny was a comfortable winner over slightly further here in December and though well beaten subsequently it wouldn't be a shock to see a return to form.
