ALL LIES AHEAD, a winner at Killarney last May, reappeared after a very long absence to score on heavy going at Leopardstown on Wednesday and though penalised runs here before being reassessed. Cheers Again came in for strong support in two starts at Dundalk over the winter and completed a double, the latest in convincing fashion, but he's been hit with a massive 19lb rise. San Aer has to be a major threat judged on an excellent run in the Irish Lincoln at the Curragh where he was only beaten a length. He's won on heavy ground and will be difficult to keep out of the money. Vocal Studies is another heavy-ground winner who made a promising comeback when runner-up at Naas while Hotrocket just failed to hold the in-form Marsa in a driving finish at Dundalk
