Verdict

AUDRELLES LAD is progressing at a rate of knots and even a 9lb rise for his recent victory at Kilbeggan shouldn't be enough to prevent a follow-up. Cry For The Moon is very consistent on the Flat and reappeared after a long break to beat a big field over hurdles at Gowran. There should be more to come though the handicapper has had his say with a massive 13lb rise. Gimli's Return is another on the upgrade and won well at Downpatrick in March but it was very heavy ground when Alf Wright scored at Clonmel in February. Whatever Jacksays has won his last two races by an aggregate of 31l so it's hardly surprising that he's been hit with a rise of 22lb.
