Verdict
LISTENHERETOMEJACK gave notice of an imminent victory at Fairyhouse before scoring at Thurles. He's up 6lb but looks progressive enough to overcome the extra. Lauderdale Lady has found heavy ground against her the last twice so she wouldn't want more rain but the four-year-old Union Park ran easily her best race to date at Wexford and wouldn't need much more to get into contention. Winston Wolfe hasn't been beaten far in his last two starts and should be winning before long but Nodoubtaboutthat went up 12lb for scoring at Kilbeggan in September and couldn't cope in a better race at Thurles though ran well for a long way.
