MICK THE JIVER was very progressive early in the year over fences and while he comes here off a break and must therefore prove his fitness, the significantly lower mark over hurdles that he gets to race off ensure that he is greatly feared and could have plenty in hand on these rivals. Megara showed improved form at Clonmel recently when going down by a narrow margin and should build on that for Jack Kennedy while Gold Smoke, Rebel Ace and Not Touch are others in with chances.
