Verdict

AG OBAIR GO CRUA improved when winning a handicap chase at Tramore two weeks ago, shaping like there's more to come. One And Only ran his best chase race when third at Limerick in first-time blinkers and could be competitive if his jumping holds up. West Of Carrig's consistent chase form makes him a player also.
