ARRYCAN showed nothing over hurdles but it was a different matter on just his second start over fences at Downpatrick where he jumped well and came home clear despite hanging badly. An opening handicap mark of 109 doesn't look excessive and a double looks on the cards. Western Sea doesn't win often but is generally thereabouts while winning hurdler Pat Coyne has shown enough in five starts over fences to suggest he'll be winning soon. The Inbetween produced a much better run at Limerick when well supported and a repeat would see him in contention but Enduring Love is better on testing ground.
