Verdict
Canny Tom has run some decent races but is still a maiden after 15 starts over hurdles. Lizzies Champ won on heavy going at Limerick in December but looked in need of further on quicker ground here earlier this month. RAPID FRITZ is another maiden though he's run very well in similar company recently and still looks on a decent mark so gets the vote with Mark Flanagan's claim a bonus. Touch Of Gold wasn't far behind the selection at Clonmel last time and that was her handicap debut over hurdles so she can improve and reach the frame. Whats The Plot enjoyed the better going here last time and wouldn't need to find much more to get competitive.
