Rodger Sweeney has found an ideal opportunity for FIERY OSCAR to complete a hat-trick. Twice a winner over hurdles at Clonmel recently, he reverts to fences on a 22lb lower mark which should enable him to gain his first success over the bigger obstacles. Hillman is running well and followed his Navan victory with a decent effort behind Playing at Clonmel though he's held by Preswell Lad on their earlier running on this track. The latter should get into the frame while Breffni Gael showed his first sign of form under Rules at Downpatrick last week and could prove best of the remainder.
