DREAM CHAMPION, who scored over fences at Down Royal in June, was supported to make a winning return to hurdles at Roscommon from what looked a fair mark. He appeared to find that 3m trip sapping his stamina and a return to today's distance can recoup losses. Rekaab, who finished just in front that day, looked better suited by that trip and may find this on the short side. All Of City Hustler's victories have come over the minimum and he couldn't cope with the step-up to 2m2f nor the big weight rise at Downpatrick last time. The victory of On The Button over Winners Toast at Roscommon was given a boost when the runner-up scored at Killarney during the week.
