On Fiddlers Green s experience will stand him in good stead in the Sporting Press (Clonmel) For Printing Beginners Chase this evening.
Henry de Bromhead's charge has been rated as high as 132 over timber and while slightly lower in this sphere, there has been some encouragement to take from his four spins over the bigger obstacles, particularly when fourth in a Kilbeggan handicap most recently.

The six-year-old has not been sighted in competitive action since October but goes on quick ground and has kept good company in his time. Cabarete is out to back up last week's Tramore success in the Orchard Thieves Handicap Hurdle.
The Aidan Fogarty-trained five-year-old was winning for the first time in 17 attempts on that occasion but there was no fluke about his five-and-a-half-length triumph, for which he has been bumped up 8lb.
That win represented a major step forward from his previous runs, which included a well-beaten 16th here in September behind You Can't Catch Me who is in opposition again and arrives on the back of another course win.
The four-year-old Double Windsor was third in a maiden hurdle on that same Tramore card last week and is interesting stepping into handicap company for the first time. Pops Well has enjoyed a couple of confidence boosts between the flags and returns under Rules to top the weights for the Clonmel Show Sunday 3rd July Handicap Chase.
The action gets under way at 5.35 with the BBQ Evening At Clonmel Races Maiden Hurdle, in which Oh Me Oh My starts his career for Joseph O'Brien. Katy P s thirds at Cheltenham and Tipperary have suggested that a race such as the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (Mares) Flat Race is within her capabilities and she must go close in the finale.
