Mick Winters is striking while the iron is hot with STAY WITH IT (NAP), whose 6lb penalty for a comfortable victory at Clonmel on Thursday is virtually wiped out by Shane Butler's claim. A follow-up appears likely though Rufino will ensure he doesn't have things his own way if able to repeat last month's run behind Deano at Thurles, easily his best performance to date. The lightly-raced Gold Platinum was in good form in the spring though beaten a long way on his reappearance last month while Asitsohappens progressed well last season and found 2m3f stretching his stamina on his final start in March. Bendanella hasn't run since March and may just need the outing with a big weight.
