His chaser has won 1 of his 4 starts so far over the larger obstacles, and has already gathered plenty of Cheltenham experience which is always a big plus in a slightly easier handicap. IROKO (NAP) 1.50 Cheltenham 2m4f Handicap Chase Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero are a young training team to follow over the next few seasons, and their exciting young chaser is fancied to make amends for an expensive fall at the first fence at Ascot last time out. He had shaped really well when just denied on his seasonal reappearance in the mud at Haydock (over confident ride and just outbattled by Trelawne), and can get his career back on track under a typically patient Jonjo O’Neill jnr. Vincent Finegan’s Ireland Tips ERNIE FROM NURNEY 12:28 Fairyhouse 2m. 1f. 30yds. Handicap Chase Ernie From Nurney is interesting in this handicap chase off bottom weight. The eight-year-old lacks a recent run, but has been entered up in recent weeks which suggests he has been ready to run for a while. He is well handicapped over fences compared to his hurdles rating and will have no issues with the going. He would have most likely won on his last chase start if the final two fences had not been omitted at Wexford. WILLIAM MUNNY 14:13 Fairyhouse 2m. Maiden Hurdle William Munny's hurdle run at Christmas can be marked up as he made a serious error in the first half of the race and in the circumstances it was a decent performance to finish second. He was a high class Bumper horse and it should be only a matter of time until he reaches a similar level over hurdles and is a confident selection to get off the mark here.
