A low-grade handicap where the market could pass on some clues. Spare Brakes has won over fences around here and over 2m over hurdles at Gowran a year ago. He'll have needed his comeback in November so could get into the shake-up. Peace N' Milan has won from higher marks but ran poorly at Limerick on St Stephen's Day while Crack On Corrie is 1-27 over timber though did run well on her penultimate start here last month. Dual hurdles winner Just Call Me reverts to the smaller obstacles after failing to finish in two out of three starts over fences but FIGHTING FIT gets another chance after coming in for heavy support at Fairyhouse last month. Philip Dempsey's charge reportedly broke a blood vessel when staying on into third over 2m on heavy going and today's better conditions can enable losses to be recouped.
