FIVE HELMETS was raised 9lb after completing a double at Navan but looked to have plenty in hand and a hat-trick beckons. Golf Marin, who finished 14 lengths back in sixth, was making his handicap debut and didn't quite get the run of the race so is expected to finish much closer. Whatsinthecorner has been chasing though won easily the last time he faced hurdles but useful Flat performer Charcor faces a stiff test on his handicap debut over timber after changing stables. Shakeytry ran poorly over fences at Cork but had been in winning form over hurdles earlier and has Rachael Blackmore's assistance. Cousin Harry had a tough race in the opener here on Tuesday but that looked a stronger event than this and a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another big run.
