War Correspondent has shown enough between the flags to suggest he can do well over hurdles and fences and has to be kept on the right side as does Kims Fancy, who didn't look suited to front-running here earlier this month and will be suited by the longer trip. Share Wood, a dual point-to-point winner, made a very bright start over hurdles at Sligo last August and is just the type to make good progress. SEEFOOD began his career over timber before a couple of bumper efforts then reverting back to hurdling with a very good run at Kilbeggan. He reappeared with a victory in a Clonmel bumper last month and should prove good enough for this.
