Henry De Bromhead runs two, ITWASFATE and Freddie Robdal, who were third and sixth in a Wexford handicap on Friday. The former was only beaten a length when conceding plenty of weight to the front pair and this looks a good opportunity. Ahead Of The Posse won a handicap hurdle on heavy ground here in January and makes his debut over fences as does Chrisco, who has only shown moderate form in bumpers and over timber but is expected to improve over the bigger obstacles. Rotten Row won over hurdles here a year ago and though not showing much over fences to date looks best of the remainder.
