Verdict
Sherchanceit made all for a comfortable success over Total Excitement at Killarney but isn't certain to be suited by the likely faster conditions. Hazeymm looked a nice prospect when bolting up at Wexford last week and there's no reason to suggest he has been overburdened on his handicap hurdling debut though this is a very much tougher race. Vinnes Friend appeared unsettled by a first-flight error when favourite at Roscommon and is better than that while Whispering Wind came up against an in-form rival in Salesin at Cork and wasn't disgraced. ECHO BOB has shown much improved form over fences recently and connections look to have found a good opportunity for him on his old hurdling mark.
