Dawerann, three times a winner over hurdles, hat yet to lose his maiden tag in a dozen starts over fences though he's been mainly consistent which is why he continues on a high mark. Game Puppeteer was having only his third start over fences at Wexford last month and produced his best run to date though could have done without a 3lb rise. Patsio is another without a chasing victory to his credit and may be better over further and though Bellgrove ran very well at Limerick a strike-rate over fences of 1-21 doesn't inspire confidence. LINE VIEW is another who doesn't win often but managed to get on the scoresheet here on New Year's Day and looked just in need of the run at Limerick last month so he's taken to double his winning tally over fences.
