Not a strong handicap by any means and with that in mind it could be worth siding with chase debutant BONDI BOY BLUE. Noted finishing with running left when fifth over hurdles at Tramore (21f) 7 weeks ago, he wouldn't have to step up a great deal to make his mark here. Repeat That is a danger judged on his penultimate hurdles victory last month, with Wexford scorer Stormy Master and Ballagh Star others to note.
