The four-year-old Tout Est Permis has found it tough in Grade 2 and 3 company since making an impressive chasing debut at Gowran and this looks his level for now. The West's Awake completed a Limerick double in his first two starts over fences in the summer but was well beaten in a Tipperary Grade 3 on heavy going. Bravissimo's maiden victory over hurdles came over 2m3f on heavy going so he'll have found 2m too short when making his chasing debut at Wexford and will have benefited from the experience. O Ceallaigh has disappointed since some smart early form over the bigger obstacles but WOODS WELL made his stamina count when making a successful chasing bow at Fairyhouse and looks the one to be on with that experience under his belt.
