This is a low-grade contest where the market could provide some clues. Wee Small Hours hasn't had much experience but would have a chance second to none on his second at Fairyhouse last month, though he couldn't reproduce that effort at Limerick. THEATRE RUN (NAP) was making her handicap debut when producing easily her best run to date over this trip at Fairyhouse. She may have won but for a last-flight error and should prove better than a 93-rated handicapper. Conna Cross hasn't shown enough to justify his big weight and Ard Cregg, who has been chasing, has yet to reach a place in 10 starts over hurdles. Bobbythegangster ran poorly on his chasing debut at Cork but would have a definite chance on his earlier close third over this trip at Tramore.
