Norwigi has finally got her act together over fences but bids for a hat-trick upped in class and raised 8lb. IRIDESCENT has more scope having won both starts over fences so far after scoring at Wexford last month and Jonathan Fogarty’s charge looks worth sticking with. Takarengo ran well on the Flat last time and represents last year’s winning yard while Whatsyourstatus won at Clonmel when last in a chase, though is 7lb higher. Centurion Steel continues to struggle while Carrig Sam has switched yards since last in action.
