TIME PLEASE was only caught in the final strides by The Crafty Butcher at Killarney last month. Edward O'Grady's charge gets the nod on only his third start over fences. Ring Ben finished back in third at Killarney so Chill looks a bigger threat on his recent second at Kilbeggan. Sizing India ran well for a long way before fading at Punchestown last time and Limpopo Tom has been thereabouts in all three chase starts including a recent third at Ballinrobe. Hurdles winners Abolitionist and Sir Loujay have yet to figure over the larger obstacles.
