Where's Bunny won over fences at Wexford then just failed to get up over timber at Tramore last week where the minimum trip proved too short. PETROL HEAD (NAP), who won at Fairyhouse in November, was beaten a long way in four subsequent starts before justifying strong support at Roscommon on Monday. The official handicapper suggested that was an improvement of 21lb from his previous run but he's only been raised 12lb so coming here with a 7lb penalty looks an obvious choice. Echoes Of Family has been chasing with some success but hasn't run over hurdles since 2020 while Beat Of The Sea's course and distance victory was almost two years ago and she hasn't won subsequently.
