CUBOMANIA has thrived since facing heavy conditions and looked to have a bit in hand when completing a double at Tramore. He has a 9lb rise to contend with but is progressing so fast that he can defy the extra. Shower Cross, a winner between the flags, had been chasing without much success but it was a different matter on his hurdling debut at Limerick where he justified heavy support in emphatic style. He's an obvious candidate along with the selection's stable companion Icario, who has been placed seven times over timber without winning. Getoutwhenyoucan won over hurdles for the seventh time at Limerick and can never be discounted while Rosie Alice has been alternating between hurdles and fences though she's been beaten off lower marks this season.
