PENNY JANE is progressing with every run and a four-timer beckons. She went up 9lb for winning her first handicap at Galway but then won a Grade B handicap at Cork in impressive fashion and another 8lb shouldn't be too much of a concern. Monbeg Chit Chat won a couple of reasonably-competitive handicaps before finding Grade B company too hot at Killarney though that didn't look his form and he jumped poorly. He can do better while Thecraicisninety has definitely made progress and was very impressive when making all at Sligo. Eight Till Late has plenty of experience over fences but is held by the selection on their recent run at Cork.
