Hang In There has rattled up a four-timer since failing to land the odds on his chasing bow at Newton Abbot in May. Champagne Gold ran well in a Grade 3 at Galway after winning at Wexford but the mare FOUND ON is a sound jumper who will want to make this a test of stamina. She is receiving weight all round so might take some pegging back. Tullybeg has wins at Kilbeggan and Wexford in his portfolio while Pull Again Green was a very progressive hurdler last season and will probably win races over fences.
