FULL NOISE, an odds-on Punchestown handicap winner in May, bounced back from a poor Fairyhouse run to land the odds again on a return visit on Saturday. He's been raised a massive 16lb so coming here with a 5lb penalty looks the obvious option. Betterask Jj was returning from a year off when gaining a surprise but comfortable victory at Punchestown in November so should get into the frame while Coole Arcade, a winner on heavy ground at Fairyhouse, looks ready to strike again soon after a fine effort behind the odds-on All Class at Navan. Winning point-to-pointer The Higher Road showed that stamina was his strongpoint with a fine effort at Limerick while Falco Du Sauzay ran very well over a trip too short at Naas.
