TYRE KICKER is unbeaten in three starts over fences, scoring over 2m6 and 3m1f before scrambling home over 2m1f at Leopardstown. He's only up 3lb for that latter victory which came over a trip much too short so a four-timer looks on the cards. Old Soul scored over hurdles in December and has steadily improved over fences culminating in a comfortable victory at Clonmel. He makes his handicap debut over the bigger obstacles and though Lizrona was a long way behind the selection at Fairyhouse in January she showed her liking for heavy ground at Clonmel ten days ago. She's 6lb higher today's rider though her rider can claim 4lb more.
