Domination came home a comfortable winner of a maiden here in February but was later disqualified when a prohibited substance was discovered. That was only his fourth start over timber and he should improve though the form of the race hasn't worked out well. RAGGLETAGGLEGYPSY hasn't exactly been consistent but if able to repeat his last run when second to Fever Pitch at Tramore he should have enough in reserve to take this. Shady Pines was beaten a long way in that latter event but was in need of the experience and can get much closer here but stablemate Thieving Gypsy makes her debut over timber and will probably need the experience. Mejd, three times a winner on the Flat for Mick Channon, has yet to show over hurdles but is with the right man to galvanise him into action.
