Kilashee has never won over fences but is well handicapped if getting his jumping act together. Our Bobby has been running well over timber but makes his debut over fences and is not certain to enjoy the conditions. Winning hurdler Pana To Milan pulled up in his first two starts over fences but did much better at Tramore and has more scope than most of these. Money Heist will have needed last month‘s run over hurdles at Cork and, though showing little in three starts over fences last year, looks the type to improve. PRINCE OF AIR scored over hurdles at Tramore in August and made a bright start over fences at Thurles where he was staying on despite a couple of mistakes. Today‘s longer trip will suit and he will not mind the conditions.
