Mista Wabbit Man is out of the handicap and had an engagement at Fairyhouse yesterday. He just failed to catch Ice Cool at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and there's virtually nothing between the pair again on the revised terms. Black Ice is a mudlark who was a fortunate winner at Limerick when Line View made a mess of the last. The latter didn't boost the form when well beaten subsequently though that was over fences. Baroque Style went up 10lb for scoring at Navan then broke a blood vessel on heavy going at Leopardstown so is probably best watched for now. Comehere Hi's two victories have been on good going which he certainly won't get here while Old Theatre Royal has five career victories to his credit, all of them on much quicker ground than he'll face here. PAGE TURNER (NAP) hasn't run over timber for almost three years but he's won three times over fences subsequently and can race off a massive 21lb lower mark. With his rider able to claim 4lb he looks too well in to ignore.
