Verdict

Light That is smart on his day as he showed when a close third in a Punchestown Grade B handicap hurdle before landing a novices' chase there. He should be winning again soon though stable companion Feeling The Love looks to have more of a chance at these weights as she didn't produce her best at Killarney following her Tipperary victory. CLIFF HOUSE has now finished second five times in his last seven including on the Flat. His narrow defeat by Wicklow Brave at Ballinrobe is the best form on view and if in the same mood will take some beating. Rocky Court isn't the most consistent but would have a chance on his shock victory over Listen Dear at Ballinrobe last year. Thecraicisninety landed the novices' handicap on this card a year ago and is another to consider in an open race.
