LINGER won a handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival then scored on the Flat there a few days later. He fell when looking a likely winner over fences next time and can revert to hurdles with another success. Rocky's Silver won a handicap chase last November but hasn't been seen since a moderate effort back over hurdles here in April. Our Jerry easily won a handicap at Stratford in June and did well to chase home Tiger Twenty Two, who was receiving 13lb, at Gowran so looks a real threat while any money for the lightly-raced Pairc Na Ngael should be noted.
