WAKE UP EARLY is inconsistent but has won around here and is due a big run in a moderate handicap. His owner is also represented by Pairc Na Ngael, who looks capable of better than we have seen so far, and Sir Bob, last seen scoring over hurdles in January. Father Jed’s winning run came to an end at Punchestown but he was never in the race and can surely do better while Rock On Barney completed a double when scoring at this fixture a year ago. Hilltop Supreme completed a hat-trick over timber in the spring but has a long absence to overcome.
