Winning bumper FILL YOUR HANDS came up against useful opposition in his opening starts over timber and though beaten when odds-on by Rocky Court at Bellewstown he was conceding 8lb to the winner. He'll need to jump better but hopefully Bryan Cooper can get him into a good rhythm here. Uncle Danny won a point-to-point and a bumper before a very good run over hurdles at Naas in November but disappointed when strongly fancied on his next two starts and hasn't run since January. Way Wild West has had plenty of chances and, though producing a couple of decent runs, looks set for a place at best unless producing some improvement.
