Useful hunter RUDI TRUCKER ran a cracking race behind the well handicapped Victix Gale at Limerick and a repeat should be good enough here. Ard Agus Fada is only 4lb higher than when scoring at Navan last March but hasn't raced since December and could just need this. Muzak keeps climbing the weights without winning and is still a maiden over fences though he holds Noble Commander on their run at Ballinrobe last week. Pontiac needs testing conditions so further rain would aid his cause but Clicksnmortar disappointed when favourite at Roscommon last month.
