Verdict
Behind The Curtain is penalised for a bumper victory, as he was at Navan in February where he ran well for a long way. Nibblers Charm also has extra for a surprise victory in a Listowel bumper and could have been found an easier start over hurdles. Generator City, a winning point-to-pointer, has looked in need of this sort of trip in his last two starts over timber while Our Dark Horse found 2m4f too short at Sligo after a fine run over this trip at Cork. Poker D'Ainay is on the shortlist as he's another certain to be suited by stepping up but it's time STACKS MOUNTAIN was winning. A close third in a 2m6f handicap at Navan in November, he hasn't been seen since runner-up over a furlong further at Thurles the following month but his stable is in cracking form so he can get off the mark.
