If THE FRIDAY MAN takes to fences at the first attempt, he will prove a tough nut to crack. The 6-y-o has won four of his half-a-dozen starts over hurdles, including on his recent return from a break at Cheltenham, and he appears to be pretty versatile ground-wise. Dreal Deal acquitted himself pretty well back in this sphere at Tipperary and he should make his presence felt, while Heather Rocco will also have a part to play if all is well following a lengthy absence.
