Conright Boy won a handicap at this fixture in 2017 and has been in very good form over fences. Turbo had been racing over fences before a poor return to hurdling at Perth but WOLFOFALLSTREETS had shown the occasional glimmer of ability before getting off the mark at the 13th attempt with a very easy victory at Thurles. The assessor took note and has hit him with a 12lb rise but it still doesn't look enough to prevent a repeat. Dessie's Diamond makes his handicap debut for new connections after a fair run in a Lingfield maiden, though that was back in February.
