Neither Eat The Book nor Duck And Varnish have won a race but their yard can get one ready so watch the market. Broomfields Jeremy could get into contention if the ground eases considerably as it was heavy when he won at Clonmel in January but the consistent Whatsnotoknow keeps going up without winning. Mt Leinster Gold completed a hat-trick between the flags then a double over hurdles though was beaten ten lengths behind today's rival Guiri on his handicap debut at Punchestown. The winner has been running over further and should do better back at this trip. Dual bumper winner Carrarea has been heavily supported in three starts over timber without winning and makes her handicap debut but the pick has to be ENJOY D'ALLEN (NAP). He improved dramatically over fences last winter culminating in a close third in the Irish National here and reverts to hurdles on a 30lb lower mark.
