WEE CHARLIE shaped well when fourth on his recent Limerick chase debut and is given a chance to build on that promise. Carrig Carol also showed an aptitude for chasing when sixth in a maiden at Thurles last month and is second choice ahead of Henry de Bromhead's Hand Over Fist, a dual winner over hurdles this summer.
