Derek O'Connor has been booked for Shar Whats Therush, who has been placed in three of his last four, while Finny Maguire is on board Yabo, who produced a battling performance to land at Wexford maiden and could have been underestimated. He's at the right end of the handicap unlike Cregane Ned, an impressive maiden winner at Clonmel where he drew right away at the finish. Fierami went up 7lb for a surprise victory on heavy ground at Navan and could do with some rain as could Chenery, whose victory at Gowran came in very heavy conditions. HILLTOP SUPREME has won three of his last four and was brought down in the other. He went up 11lb after scoring at Punchestown and is up another 6lb for a hard-fought victory at Clonmel but can continue the good work.
