Harold Peto is still penalised for winning on the Flat in 2014 but has shown enough over hurdles to suggest he'll be winning before long and he won't mind quick ground. Rock Lobster is the other carrying extra for a victory on the level and he's now had twelve races over timber and looks to have gone backwards from his good early form. Carrigmoorna Matt might do better back over this trip after looking one-paced over three miles but the vote goes to JETZ, who made a promising start over hurdles in January and has run reasonably well in two bumpers subsequently. Moroval ran well enough on similar ground at Kilbeggan last month to get into contention.
