WRONG DIRECTION was placed in a handicap at Thurles a year ago and looked a good addition to the hunter-chase ranks when runner-up at Fairyhouse in November. However, prospective punters would need to forgive a very poor run at Gowran though the very heavy conditions may have been responsible. Dento Des Obeaux was in the care of Willie Mullins when scoring twice between the flags and showed up well for new connections in a similar race to this at Downpatrick last month. His stable companion Tareeshar was just behind in that latter event and would have finished much closer but for being badly impeded so should reverse the form. Sean Doyle has three entries with Fiston Du Mou looking the best of them.
