This is a low-grade handicap and though Mr Natural hasn't shown much he was having his first start for Willie Mullins at Navan three weeks ago and is expected to do better. Velsen has shown potential in three maidens and the Godolphin-owned son of Dubawi will be suited by stepping up in trip here. Black Label won over hurdles in July and had some decent form on fast ground on the Flat earlier in the summer while Time For Mabel has dropped to a very lowly mark. SCHOOLBOY ERROR carried a big weight to land a Fairyhouse handicap in June from just 1lb lower. He completed a double here in the spring though has little in hand of Easy Boy on their two runs and the pair can fight out the finish.
