Cayd Boy has achieved an official mark of 133 after six starts over fences and was competing in very strong handicaps over the winter. Galore Desassences has a higher rating over timber but has jumped poorly in two starts over the bigger obstacles. Winning bumper and dual hurdles winner I A Connect was another who didn't jump well over fences at Kilbeggan but that was his debut and he should have learnt from the experience. WALNUT BEACH has a similar profile though he made a highly encouraging chasing bow behind the long odds-on Tax For Max at Wexford where he had the remainder a long way behind.
