Earths Furies won over hurdles and fences here last winter and has been racing exclusively over the bigger obstacles recently. He looked back to a bit of form at Fairyhouse last time and can get involved. From a yard in top form, HAND OVER FIST (NAP) showed massive improvement when narrowly beaten into third on his handicap debut at Tramore and further progress can see him off the mark. Lake Chad won over the minimum at this fixture last year and stays this far so has to be respected along with Positive Thinker, who makes his handicap debut. Huit Reflects was narrowly beaten at Gowran in March and will have needed last month's run at Sligo.
