Stonehatchetmad looked in need of a longer trip when a fine second to Sainte Kadette over 2m2f at Wexford and has plenty going for him here though connections won't be pleased with a 4lb rise. Even less pleased with the handicapper will be connections of Fool's Wildcat as he has received a massive 10lb extra for scoring under a fine ride by Paul Carberry at Punchestown last week. Fourth and fifth that day were HIGH AMENITY and Ringfort and it's the former, who is still a maiden after 23 starts, who can finally get off the mark with a 9lb pull for just over four lengths. Alwaystheoptimist ran well enough behind Barna Gold in a maiden at Sligo at the end of September to suggest he can take a hand in this moderate contest.
