FormscanBy Mark Nunan - YOUNG FITZY was never a factor at Limerick on Wednesday but perhaps that race served its purpose and a chance is taken that his jumping holds up on chase debut. He was running well when tipping up a couple of times in point-to-points and was in good form over hurdles in the autumn when the first of his two victories came at this venue. By contrast That’s Lifebuoy ran well when fourth over hurdles at Limerick and she has plenty of experience over fences. She was second in a 2m6f contest here in the summer but this trip is shorter than her optimum. Top Line Tommy doesn’t convince with his jumping technique and Getaway Katie, who made late headway into fifth at Clonmel, may be next best.
