CLARKEY has reverted to hurdling on a very lowly mark and almost scored over a slightly longer trip at Punchestown on Thursday but was mugged on the run-in by Carutomark. He's still very well treated and can go one better. A spell over fences appears to have affected Beau Michael's form over timber and though Wee Giant continues to drop in the ratings his recent form has been moderate. Lord Ben appeared to find three miles just too far at Gowran and is better judged on his victory over 2m3f at Kilbeggan earlier. He's one with a chance as is Another Palm, though he'll need a very strong pace over this trip.
