Winning point-to-pointer Ask Me Sister has produced one good run over fences but doesn't look one to trust. ROSS NA RIGH made a very good start over the bigger obstacles behind Oscar Dan Dan at Navan and was strongly fancied when falling over this C&D last month. He can make amends though De Dodger looks the type to do better now tackling fences for the first time and could prove a big threat. Like The Da is coming late to chasing after 29 runs and three victories over hurdles but Kildare Blowin is bred for the job and has shown the occasional glimpse of ability over timber. Mr Clyde showed nothing on his only start over fences but is almost certainly capable of better.
