Going - Good to Yielding, good in places. Fine

Formscan By Gary Carson - LIVE TO LAUGH looks nicely treated back over hurdles. The Califet gelding has won his last two over fences in fine style and has gone up 18lb as a result. He competes here off the same mark he had when winning his first handicap chase in Thurles last month. Dolly Watkins stretched away to win in good style at Limerick last time and going a bit further now could unlock further improvement. She could prove the danger. Coppola has been hitting the crossbar and should be thereabouts again. Recent winners Midleton Rare and Sean Mc are others that have to come into calculations.
