Denis Hogan has the top pair engaged but Bal De Rio is a more likely winner for the yard despite only winning a claiming hurdle at Clonmel. It'sallabouteve, a winning bumper and successful in a maiden hurdle in 2021, has had little racing and looks to be heading back in the right direction judging by her two runs last month and she's probably on a fair mark. Jet Setting Johnny was beaten a long way into third at Gowran but The Big Chap has been in the lead at this trip when tackling further in his last two starts. Crowsatedappletart was well supported when scoring with a bit in hand at Limerick and a 7lb rise is offset by his rider's claim. STEALTHY TOM is better known for his exploits over the banks course at Punchestown but he's won over hurdles and can take this with Tom Kelly's claim a real plus.
