DRISH VENTURE showed little in maidens but improved markedly when tackling nurseries here, beaten a length in November before making all for a comfortable victory a couple of weeks later. Normal progress can see him take care of Tammany Hall, who has been unable to cope with an 8lb rise for landing a strong Navan nursery. Harry's Hill was a long way behind the selection on his penultimate run but dropped down to the minimum a fortnight ago and made most of the running for which he's up 7lb. Zen Silence was around 3 lengths back in the latter event so should get closer on the revised terms but Falsaron has to carry top weight as he's yet to receive an official rating.
