Gordon Elliott brings Tiger Twenty Two out quickly after a close third at Limerick on Monday, though he may need a bit further than this. Quamino has a mark of 134 over fences and reverts to hurdling on 25lb lower while Accidental Rebel wasn't right when beaten a long way at Downpatrick and is better judged on his narrow defeat at Leopardstown in December. This is a very restricted handicap which should play into the hands of MUTADAFFEQ (NAP). Gavin Cromwell's charge won over fences at Clonmel in March then landed a handicap at the Curragh a couple of weeks ago so looks well capable of reverting to hurdling and completing the hat-trick. Three-times Flat winner The Tartan Spartan is interesting on his debut for Philip Fenton.
