FAIR FRONTIERES was beaten a head in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Navan last month and can put that experience to good use here. Where It All Began started odds-on for his debut at Limerick in December and attempted to make all but was caught 1f out though he battled on strongly when headed. Hi Ho Phoenix never got close to the leaders when tackling 2m here last month but has a stayers pedigree so should do better over this trip. Dom Of Mary easily won a point at Moig South and Sam Curling's horses are always worth a look in bumpers.
