Verdict
Laughing Trix has won over fences here and is on a lower hurdles mark for this. Courting Vickie is 0-18 but very nearly lost her maiden tag at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and is only 1lb higher. I Dont Get It is 0-27 but is likely to be thereabouts at the finish again though ARCTIC AMBITION (NAP) has to be the one to side with. Robert Tyner's charge looked a likely future winner when narrowly beaten over fences at Tramore and duly obliged there next time. He comes here on a 12lb lower mark than over fences and will be very difficult to beat.
