Charles Byrnes has booked the excellent claimer Simon Torrens for OFF YOU GO, who has been up against very smart opposition in his four starts to date over fences. Rated 151 when last seen over hurdles, he'll be off 133 with his rider's claim taken into consideration and has won first time back in the past. He's one of five in the J P McManus colours with Konitho perhaps best of the remainder. Henry De Bromhead has two entries and Arvico Bleu was unfortunate not to score back in 2018/19 with placed efforts in four starts before falling at the last when in the lead at Thurles. He ran well behind the useful Mitchouka on the latter track in February and looks a real threat. Chatham Street Lad is up 10lb for landing a Ballinrobe handicap and didn't run up to expectations at Galway.
