Jonjo O'Neill is understandably striking whilst the iron is hot with TIDAL WATCH and the son of Harbour Watch is hard to oppose as he seeks to complete a rapid-fire hat-trick. James Bowen has partnered the progressive four-year-old to success the last twice and is in the plate once again. His rivals are not in high form at present with the exception of Petrify but his recent hurdling success was achieved in selling company and this is a a tougher race off a higher mark. He's since been well beaten on the level too. Pension Madness and Cor Wot An Apple have inklings of form but remain winless and Powerstown Park is the each-way shout if all's well after wind surgery.
