Grangeclare Native would have a good chance if coming here as he was due to go at Tramore on Saturday. He needs keeping in mind if turning up. My Manekineko has his 117th race under Rules on all surfaces and continues to give a good account mixing hurdles and fences. He should be in the shake-up once again. Jack Hackett concedes weight all round but ran well here when second in mid-May and also has a course and distance success to his name. He's another in with a decent shout but SWEET WILL has already notched a couple of wins this year including his only chase, and ran a cracker the last time on the Flat in a decent-quality Doncaster handicap.
