Plenty of runners here but few in form. Fiddlers Bow has had ten runs over fences and has come close to winning on a couple of occasions including at Clonmel in September when just failing to catch Billy De Kid. That could prove good enough though he's vulnerable to an improver and SPARE BRAKES fits the bill. Robert Tyner's charge is making his debut over regulation fences but has always looked a chasing type and showed his wellbeing when scoring over timber at Listowel. Solar Heat has had a run on the Flat since an excellent second behind Canny Tom at Downpatrick, when Wee Small Hours was around 10l behind, and a repeat of that would see her in the frame. Youngnedofthehill has been running well over timber but is making his chasing debut at an advanced age.
