IRISH BULLETIN has had his chances but was unfortunate to come up against the gambled-on Lite Duties at Punchestown three weeks ago and can go one better. High In The Clouds was in touch at this trip before being outpaced at Clonmel and should get involved and though Speed Demon disappointed when fancied at Tramore that was only his second run over timber and there should be more to come. Winning point-to-pointer Rock On Fruity has run poorly in two starts over hurdles but that may not be his form and a market check is advised.
