Plenty with a squeak but preference is for CARRIGDOUN BOY, who left his hurdling debut form behind when pulling clear with an odds-on favourite at Kempton just under 6 weeks ago and there could be even more to come now moving into handicaps. Irish Hill took his form up a notch when scoring at Taunton recently so he's put forward as the main threat, with Mayhem Mya and Kihavah another couple fancied to go well.
