Raajih is making hard work of opening his account over fences and was placed yet again at Tramore last week. He'll be in the firing-line again but a chance is taken on chasing debutant SPOT FINE. The latter has been placed in maiden hurdles but better is expected from this half-brother to a winning chaser as he takes on the bigger obstacles. Eirland has claims on his earlier effort over these fences given he was still in contention when falling at the last while Steeltown has a fourth at Limerick to his credit last year.
