TIGER ROLL can cause a shock by taking this competitive contest for his leading Irish trainer. The selection ran out the winner of a competitive handicap at Limerick in September and having gained experience of this course when finishing third here in October he can provide further success for his trainer and jockey who teamed up to land a valuable contest at Listowel in September. Of the other runners Edwulf was successful in a competitive event at Naas last time out and has a leading jockey in the saddle while fellow Irish raider A Genie In Abottle finished second to a useful rival at the same track in January. Best of the British horses looks likely to be between the progressive Beware The Bear and Champers On Ice with preference for the former as he goes in search of a hat-trick.
