Verdict
Joxer gained his first victory over fences with an impressive performance at Tramore and should make a bold bid to defy a 7lb rise. Crocodile Dundee completed a double when scoring here in October though couldn't quite cope with 6lb extra on his nest start at Galway. Fenlon's Hill is 10lb higher than when successful at Fairyhouse in October but looks the type to do well this summer. Monbeg Chit Chat has only had four races over fences and makes his handicap debut while GREY MOUNTAIN MIST has only had one more run over the bigger obstacles. But the latter looked an improved performer when last seen at Thurles in October and can make a successful reappearance.
