Just Get Cracking alternates between hurdles and fences and won over timber at Limerick last month. He's just as good over the bigger obstacles and Conor Orr's claim is a bonus. The front-running PEACOCKS SECRET completed a double over 2m4f in the autumn before falling at Clonmel. He still looks reasonably treated and has time on his side. Nobody Home won a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle by 17l though failed to take advantage of a lower chase mark back there next time but Presenting Julio will enjoy the conditions more than most and is respected despite being 13lb higher than his last victory. Sweet Destination has been racing in the UK, winning by a distance at Plumpton before beaten a neck at Fakenham. She's a danger to all from her lowly spot in the handicap.
