BREX DRAGO, nine times a winner on the Flat in Italy, showed little in his first three starts over timber for Gavin Cromwell but it was a different matter at Kilbeggan on Friday when well supported. He comes here with a 6lb penalty and this looks tougher though a quick follow-up looks on the cards. Castlehume couldn't quite cope with a 6lb penalty over this trip at Sligo after completing a double over the minimum while Arctic Light's success on the latter track was also over 2m. Play The Part gained his first success over timber in a Wexford maiden though this looks tougher but Statistical is reverting to hurdles on a very lowly mark after scoring over fences at Tramore.
