Luddsdenene was engaged to run over fences at Wexford yesterday but is better handicapped over hurdles. Competitive Edge has been making good progress and looked suited to the minimum trip when landing a Punchestown maiden while Cottresbooley doesn't look on a bad mark now back over timber after a spell over fences. Darwins Fox has been competing with credit at a high level and the assessor has taken no chances with his handicap mark but Dul Ar An Ol is now on his highest ever mark despite his age after his battling victory at Leopardstown. MUNSAAB, who finished a very close fourth that day, is 3lb better off and is taken to reverse the positions and gain his second success over timber. Rocky Wednesday was behind on that occasion and though he's improved since looks held.
