OFF YOU GO has been here twice - winning the lucrative Ladbroke Hurdle on both occasions. He hasn't been as successful over fences but has some strong form and is 11lb lower than at his height over timber so gets the nod. Mark Walsh chooses him over five other J P McManus-owned entries including the hat-trick seeking Crossed My Mind and Minella Times, runner-up in the ultra-competitive Paddy Power here at Christmas with Farclas 6 lengths back in third. The Long Mile is another wearing the famous green and gold though a massive 12lb rise for a very easy Limerick victory gives him plenty to do.
