HUGO 'N TAZ was unfortunate not to get off the mark on his first attempt over timber last time at Fairyhouse. He come down in trip here and should take the beating on that recent showing. Wexford bumper winner Thosedaysaregone could have plenty to say while Gordon Elliott's runner Isle Of Destiny can be in the finish granted better fortune.
