Allee Garde has cost his supporters dearly so far being a short-priced favourite on his opening four starts in bumpers. He faced a stiffer task last time at Naas but ran quite well and should do better now faced with obstacles. Lord Redsgirth and CELTIC WISH have shown very good form over timber and both should soon be losing their maiden tags. The former, runner-up to Aughaloor at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day, ran very well behind Bayross on a return visit and looks a real threat but Celtic Wish just gets the vote as he has finished runner-up to two useful performers in Macville and Joe Smooth. The remainder look as though they are playing for places with Kid Curry probably the best of them.
