Chosen Hour has won three times over hurdles, including here, and is 8lb lower than over fences where he's been operating over the past couple of seasons. Winning point-to-pointer Cregane Ned did well to score over 2m3f over hurdles at Clonmel but didn't run up to that form on his handicap debut at Cork. THAT'S LIFEBUOY (NAP) gained a breakthrough success when stepping up to 2m6f at Limerick and, though 9lb higher, will take the world of beating in that kind of form. Runner-up Seangoell, who was beaten 11 lengths, again ran well at Ballinrobe on Tuesday but Siberian Star, who had beaten Bronson In Blue at Leopardstown earlier, was 39 lengths behind the selection at Limerick. Junior Rattler landed a Naas handicap in March and, though that was over the minimum, he was only beaten a length behind Mt Leinster Gold over this trip at Wexford. Inviction makes his handicap debut though takes a big step up in trip unlike stable companion Land Jet, who was conceding the winner 19lb when runner-up over the distance at Kilbeggan.
