Damut followed a very good run over this trip at Limerick with a poor effort over further at Fairyhouse. Carrig Cathal is the only course winner in the line-up having won over hurdles here a year ago. He hasn't been going badly over fences recently though AT YOUR EASE will take some beating. Arthur Moore's charge was having only his third run over fences when well supported and landing a Limerick beginners' chase over this trip and starts out in a handicap off a reasonable mark. Manger Et Trotter is in the same ownership and also makes his handicap debut though he hasn't shown the same level of form. Customer looks the main threat as he's run well in his last three starts over fences since reverting from hurdles and won a couple of times as a youngster in France.
