CILLIAN'S RETURN can get off the mark at the first attempt in handicaps over fences here. The selection has been set some stiff tasks thus far in his chasing career and as such gets in here off a 7lb lower mark than he would were this a hurdle. Holeinthewall Bar is taken to chase him home while Polish Partisan can perform better than of late off his slipping handicap mark.
1. Cillian's Return
2. Holeinthewall Bar
3. Polish Partisan
