After scoring over this trip at Sligo, Lake George was just outpaced over slightly shorter at Limerick and has gone up in the weights again. MR GOOD GUY has dropped a massive 17lb in the ratings since last summer and though it was only a claimer he won at Fairyhouse he should have had his confidence restored and can complete a double. The three-year-old Chaplin Bay is one of the few here with scope and his last two starts, especially when beaten a short-head by the in-form Ishebayorgrey at Dundalk, suggests he'll be winning very soon. Octavia is another making progress and a line through that Dundalk winner gives here a fine chance of gaining her first victory on her tenth start. Tipperary winner Plough Boy has gone up 8lb and this is tougher.
