WARCRAFT followed his maiden success over fences at Ballinrobe with two decent efforts in better class races. He was less than two lengths behind Tawnies over three miles at Cork last time and this trip may prove ideal. Wickham Street landed an eventful race at Tipperary in April where he was left clear at the last. He would have won anyway and looked impressive though the form hasn't worked out well. Armaramak has plenty of winning form over hurdles and on the flat but will need to show massive improvement on his efforts so far over fences to get involved and a bigger threat may emerge from Donegal, who made a promising start over the bigger obstacles behind Mayo Abbey at Kilbeggan on Sunday.
