Not surprisingly many of these have been involved over jumps including Conron, a winner on the Flat at Clonmel in April and placed in three strong handicaps over timber subsequently. LINGER completed a double at the Galway Festival, beating a big field over hurdles then easily landing a 1m6f handicap before falling when odds-on over fences. He's been raised 13lb for that Flat victory but still looks well treated. Lusis Naturea makes a quick reappearance after a good run behind the in-form Royal Aide at Bellewstown on Wednesday while Cliff House, who had been racing over fences, bids for compensation after finishing second when well supported on the Flat at Tramore a fortnight ago.
