TOUCH OF OSCAR finished second last time at Clonmel on just his second run over fences and he can go one place better here now he is up in trip. He has won over this distance over hurdles and is open to improvement still. Theatre World was in good form over hurdles in handicap company and should be able to go close on his chase debut, while Bitsandpieces has been running well since switching to fences without success so take him to finish in the placings once again.
