Blackmail was one to note on his second start over fences at Leopardstown in December. He appeared set to challenge but didn't sustain his effort in the home straight. The drop in trip should suit him but the same can be said of DON'T TOUCH IT. Jessica Harrington's runner has some smart form as a hurdler at two-miles and has run well enough on two chase starts over further to suggest a race like this is well within his compass now. O Ceallaigh faded a bit tamely last time at Limerick but he's shown enough in three starts over fences to merit some consideration while Cloudy Morning is an intriguing recruit as he's been in fine fettle over timber. Dicosimo remains as something of an enigma and is tough to recommend, despite clearly having talent. 1. Don't Touch It 2. Blackmail 3. Cloudy Morning
