Bendanella has had ten starts over fences and though he ran well in a Limerick handicap last time he looks vulnerable to an improver. YAHA FIZZ (NAP) has won three times over timber and run some cracking races in defeat in top handicaps. He failed to complete in two starts over fences in 2016 but gets another chance here and is handed the vote. Crezic has a chaser's pedigree so did well to win a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan in April. He can go well while dual hurdles winner The Irregular has run in better company over fences including at Galway last week. Arcenfete won on the Flat and over hurdles in France but hasn't shown much for new connections over timber.
