WAAHEB is clear of the opposition on official figures and hard to oppose. Dermot Weld's charge won over these hurdles at the start of the year and scored on the Flat at Limerick in April. His main rivals on handicap ratings all arrive out of sorts with Baresi making more appeal than Courtnctacher and Gimli's Rock on latest form. Well Tuned won at Limerick last month but has plenty to find on today's terms.
