It could pay to stick with WHATAREUDOINGTOME in this. He bids for a hat-trick off an 8lb higher mark but looked to win with plenty in hand last time. He Is Top Class won a beginners chase at Thurles before finishing runner-up over hurdles at Limerick but is 9lb higher today while Kansas City Chief also won a beginners event over the Thurles fences in March and could go well. Rebel Cry landed a handicap chase at the same meeting as the latter and is upped 6lb but He Rock's has just the one win over fences in 19 attempts and still looks high enough in the weights.
