Rolly Bowley Boy had Teescomponentsyess two lengths behind when runner-up at Navan though was beaten 13 lengths and this looks on the short side. MAHLERS COVE (NAP), a winning hurdler, was making his handicap debut over fences when a very good third at Naas and looks the one to beat on that form. Meehall is consistent enough but his form is over much further than this. Freddie Robdal made a couple of costly mistakes when runner-up at Clonmel but then ran poorly when reverting to hurdles at Navan.
