Young Dev had a spell over fences before reverting to hurdles and winning easily over 2m5f here last month for which he's been raised 13lb. KAVANAGHS CORNER has been in very good form and was conceding a stone when just under two lengths behind Trumps Ace over this trip at Clonmel. His young rider's claim can enable him to complete a quick double. Solar Heat doesn't win often but ploughed through the mud to score at Fairyhouse before reverting to type at Thurles but The Ballyboys, three times a winner over hurdles, is 0-10 over fences. Halsafari won over hurdles here in March but has shown nothing over fences so far.
