NOT FOR YOU has yet to win over fences but was carried out when strongly fancied at Killarney and can gain compensation. The veteran Pires hasn't won for over two years and is better handicapped over hurdles but He Is Top Class bounced back to form on heavy ground at Sligo and has run well here in the past. Kilcrea made all at Killarney but couldn't get to the front in a much better race at Galway and this should be more his level. Robin Des People ran a bit better at Tramore but hasn't had much experience and is untested on the ground.
