The Boat People should make a chaser and her two victories over timber at Cork have been a bonus. Playtime Ben has the ability to win over fences but his jumping has left plenty to be desired so far and he may need a confidence-booster. Raajih was having only his second run over fences at Tramore last month and appeared to find the 2m6f just too far so he's likely to get involved here but it's CLOONE SPRINGS who is given the verdict as he has been showing improved form over hurdles and has the benefit of three runs over fences behind him.
