EGALITY MANS fell when going easily in a Grade 2 novices' hurdle at Fairyhouse last April and again on his chasing debut at Punchestown on New Year's Eve. He jumped better back at Fairyhouse next time though faded quickly from two out so it's a surprise to see him tackling further though he looks better class than these. Dual hurdles winner Itsnotinit has been in excellent form over timber and would have to be a threat if taking to fences while Siberian Prince came up against a couple of smart types when beaten a long way into third at Gowran.
