LASH IT ON has been racing over hurdles since last running over fences when he won a handicap on this course in the summer of last year. He wouldn't want any more rain but looks well enough handicapped to give a good account. Island Master won a maiden hunter chase at Clonmel in February though hasn't done so well in handicaps but winning point-to-pointer Model Cloud produced his best run over regulation fences over this track and trip in June. Castle Fall's hasn't run since last October but had been going well previously so could get into contention if ready while Bandon Bridge, a winner at Warwick in March, will be better for his first run for new connections at Thurles last month.
