IT'S ALL AN ACT landed what looked like a soft chase at Sligo last week then reverted to hurdles at Tramore on Thursday and produced an excellent run behind the in-form pair Daigreen and Pleased As Punch. He's on the same mark here but is likely to go up a few pounds and can take advantage. Golden Ticket has to be a big threat after his excellent run behind Greatness at the Galway Festival. He's had a run on the Flat subsequently and Jody McGarvey's claim is a bonus. Much Wants More scored over 2m4f at Tipperary and could find this on the short side and Sultana Belle may do better when sent back over fences. Bashful Beauty found 2m4f beyond him at Clonmel after much better efforts at this trip while Bank The Bucks is consistent enough at this level and will enjoy the quicker ground better than most.
