Verdict
Mr Pernickety has been running reasonably well in a similar grade and should reach a place at least while Fiery Oscar has reverted to hurdles on a lower mark than fences and ran well at Limerick last time. He has the beating of Satwa King on that run and Western Island was also behind. KINGS ARMY has only produced one really good effort over timber when runner-up to Chino Valdes at Fairyhouse in January. If Paul Nolan can persuade him to reproduce that kind of form he could spring a surprise in a very moderate contest. Love Milan makes her handicap debut and has shown enough promise to suggest she can make her presence felt.
