Pumbaa completed a Limerick double at the backend of last year and was returning from a three-month break when a close third there last month. He should go well again but Hurricane Jojo has done much better on faster ground, a remark that also applies to Seeyouallincoppers. Jubilee Year would have a solid chance on his victory at Tipperary in May but a tricky race can go the way of ON MY OWN, who landed a handicap over the course and distance just over a year ago and can run from a lower mark.
