JIMMY CHOU PECOS AA looked a stayer in the making when just outbattled by Eye Van over 2m4f at Down Royal and can gain compensation over the longer trip. Western Walk has produced two fine runs at around this trip the last twice and with his rider's claim a bonus should get into the frame. Winning bumper Fantasio D'alene has some strong form over timber to his credit but has broken blood vessels the last twice so has questions to answer. His stablemate Ebenezer Scrooge made a reasonable debut at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day but then jumped very poorly at Thurles.
