Hourless has done well over timber, making a winning start at Hexham and carrying a penalty with distinction in two subsequent starts. Climate Precedent had a stiff task against older horses on his handicap debut at Market Rasen but was by no means disgraced. Common Acclaim is looking exposed and the remaining pair with experience make no appeal. TEORIE won a 1m2f Leopardstown handicap on soft ground for Jim Bolger and can make a successful hurdling debut for Fergal O'Brien. Rose De La Jarrie went for €42,000 after making a winning debut over 1m4f in the French Provinces in August and looks best of Philip Kirby's pair.
