This looks a wide open contest on paper with few standout candidates. Itsallhappening has gone well enough in two handicaps to date and may have a say now upped in trip while Highest Benefit ran a better race at Punchestown latest than had been the case for a while. Fiddlers Way hasn't run over hurdles for a long while but would have leading claims if able to reproduce prior form now switched back. Returntovendor disappointed last time out but had run very well at this trip before that and can be given some hope here as a result but a chance is taken with OPTIMISED. His previous run in maiden company at Cork was promising and he could well gain his breakthrough at the fourth time of asking in his first handicap start.
