On The Fringe and Mossey George have won the last two of these so it's a strong hunters' event. WARNE has a penalty to carry but he's been operating at a very high level and has finished behind On The Fringe three times in his last four outings. He's won at Aintree and Fairyhouse and his class should see him through, though Seventh Sign is a young pretender to the hunters' crown. Adrian Maguire's six-year-old unseated his rider in the Fox Hunter at Cheltenham and has made amends with two facile victories between the flags. There's more to come and he's an exciting prospect at this level. The once-useful Slieveardagh was a long way behind him at Curraheen last weekend while Jamie Codd's mount Mtada Supreme has been a bit disappointing since scoring at Tinahely in January. Gentle Cloud has won four of his last five between the flags but hasn't faced this sort of opposition.
