LANCING looked like starting a short-priced favourite for the 5.05 at Cork yesterday and if Tony Martin decides to let him loose again it's difficult to ignore his chance after his recent victory over a big field on that track. High Talk is consistent enough but has been beaten three times here this year and gone up in the weights while Jamsie Hall's best recent form has been over fences. Looking For Toby was having only his second start over hurdles when landing a surprise victory in a Kilbeggan maiden so there should be more to come from him. Bottle Rattler was having his first start since March when a decent fourth at Sligo last month and may do best of the remainder.
