Bad News Bear has improved with each start and had no problems staying this trip at Limerick where he caught Kodiac's Back for second spot close home. THE SCOURGE reverted to front-running at Listowel and was only caught right on the line by Bribe The Bouncer with the disappointing Wateeb around two lengths back in fourth. Kevin Prendergast's charge can hopefully hang on this time as Duchess Andorra appeared to be better suited by dropping back to 7f at Fairyhouse.
