Few of these arrive in any kind of form so CANNY TOM (NAP) may be capable of carrying his big weight to victory. Gordon Elliott's charge had just been headed when falling at the last at Perth before just failing to concede a stone to Shek O Lad at Downpatrick where he was caught close home over a slightly longer trip. A Twist Of Fate went up a massive 12lb for his victory over 2m4f here last month and failed to cope when well beaten at Punchestown. Mossy Island is a consistent performer at this sort of level and though he hasn't been seen for over a year he was well supported when scoring at Ballinrobe so any money for him should be noted. Tintown Robin was pulled up in the selection's race at Downpatrick but produced two decent runs in-between and is young enough to make further progress.
