CALL ME PJ was engaged in the 8.25 at Tipperary last night where he looked to have a fair chance, as he does here. He had Baby Jake behind when placed at Kilbeggan but the latter was having his first start since October and is expected to do better. Dollar And A Dream had a three-month break before landing a novices' handicap at Fairyhouse but couldn't handle the step up in grade at Punchestown. Ardview Boy was behind Gordon Elliott's charge at Fairyhouse and is also held by the selection though he's only had five starts over hurdles. Fighting Days is inconsistent and ran poorly when well supported here last time but would have a chance on his victory from just 1lb lower at Punchestown in December. The once-promising Time For A Pint will be better for his run at Fairyhouse in March, his first since 2014.
