Exit Seven was placed three times at the turn of the year but has now had 25 career starts without winning. Kilcaragh Boy stayed on strongly to snatch third at Ballinrobe with Urban Vic, who looks to have a good chance in the first division of this, just in front. MR MOONDANCE scored on the Flat at Navan in September and after a pipe-opener at Down Royal finished very strongly at Sligo last month. He looks to have some scope over hurdles and can land this moderate contest. The four-year-old Masterchippy ran well for a long way in a similar race to this at Tramore and looks best of the remainder.
