General Gold gained his first success on his 21st start at Sligo last week though that was over 2m5f and he's 5lb higher. Mig Des Taillons couldn't get close to Trees Valley at Tramore and was beaten 10 lengths, with Influential Lady 2 lengths behind and the generally consistent Ilikehim a further 6 lengths back, and the winner was completing a quick double. FAIR MINDED couldn't quite cope with Breezy Bell at Ballinrobe but that was her best run to date and further progress can see her go one better.
