Arctic Light carried a big weight to a surprise victory over 2m6f at Limerick and a 6lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run. Tiger Twenty Two was beaten 25 lengths in a claiming hurdle at Clonmel but will enjoy the conditions more than most while stable companion Deux Par Deux, a winner over hurdles and fences in France, will have come on markedly for last month's run at Limerick. Grangeclare Native also hails from the yard but the winning point-to-pointer and bumper has been disappointing so far over timber. FIRST TOUCH won a Clonmel maiden then found 2m too short in a novices' contest at Limerick. He won a point-to-point on good ground and can make a successful handicap debut.
