Around The Clock, a winner at Brighton for Amanda Perrett, made a bright start over timber at Limerick but weakened very quickly at Gowran last time. He's probably better than that latest run suggests and should go well but RED CALIMA looks the one to be on. Paul Nolan's charge scored at Leopardstown on fast going on the Flat but has performed with credit over timber including when close-up in a Naas handicap last time and is now blinkered. Darwins Theory showed some potential on the level and ran well enough when unfancied on his hurdling debut at Leopardstown to be considered here. Mcmonagle arrives here fit from racing at Dundalk though his only success so far has been over 6f.
