FENNO'S STORM (NAP), a multiple winner between the flags and in hunter chases, was racing off a 35lb lower mark over hurdles when scoring over the course and distance a fortnight ago. He's 12lb higher and this is a better race but he looks the one to beat. Allbarone makes his handicap debut after a close second to Buck Rogers in a Wexford maiden and the winner goes in the previous race. Both Young Dev and Cappacurry Zak have been regular winners around here though arrive out of form unlike Live Every Day, who made most over 2m4f at Clonmel and battled back when headed. Rudy Catrail made all to complete a double over fences at Listowel and Kilbeggan over timber but appeared to find heavy ground against him when a long way behind Classic Concorde over fences at Fairyhouse. The winner galloped his rivals into submission and can revert to hurdles on a 6lb lower mark so has to be a major threat.
