Callthebarman has run three times over fences and won twice. He took advantage of a much lower hurdles rating last time but should have a bit more to come over the bigger obstacles. AR EAGLA NA HEAGLA scored on the Flat in June and has performed well over fences subsequently. She makes her handicap debut here and looks on a reasonable enough mark to take this. Global Jackpot completed a hat-trick over hurdles last year and, though not doing as well over fences, gave the indication of better to come when a close third at Sligo in September. Jack Dillinger has been staying on over this sort of trip and may need further unless the ground turn testing.
