Fitzgutentyte was in good form over hurdles and fences last summer but hasn't been seen since July. She could just need this but Solstice Knight is respected as he arrives on a 14lb lower mark than over hurdles and showed himself ready to win again soon with a very good effort at Wexford in March. RAISE HELL has been steadily improving and produced his best run to date over fences when last seen at Thurles in November. He makes his handicap debut here and looks the one to beat. Fourth Class is inconsistent and followed his victory at Kilbeggan in August with a poor run there the following month.
