The once useful Psycho hasn't won for two years and was pulled up in a Tallanstown point-to-point last month behind Sebadee. The winner beat the useful Nedzer's Return that day and should go well while the veteran Powerstation arrives in winning form having battled to victory at Ballysteen earlier this month. Boxer Georg hasn't won for over two years and Universal Truth was beaten 28l into second behind the very useful Mossey Joe in this a year ago. That winner is rated 159 and ON THE FRINGE is 25lb lower but Enda Bolger's charge is still climbing the rankings and could hardly have been more impressive at the Punchestown Festival so has to be the pick here.
