Prince Of Forwards was hit with a massive 14lb rise for scoring here two weeks ago so it was no shock when he pulled up on a return visit on Monday. Jakros was having just his fourth start over fences when scoring at Ballinrobe but has plenty of weight to carry on his handicap debut. Wise Oscar went up 12lb for gaining his first victory over fences at Navan in March but jumps and stays well so has to be considered though a chance is taken on the jumping of PIGEON CREEK. He's failed to complete in two of his four starts over fences but got his act together when a close second to Coolnagorna Giggs at Ballinrobe and makes his handicap debut from a reasonable mark. Jack Bene has had a break since well beaten at Gowran in January and is expected to do better.
