Please Talk, an easy winner between the flags at Dromahane last December, is an interesting entry for Noel Meade and definitely one to note. Are Ya Right Chief has looked in need of a much stiffer test of stamina on both starts in bumpers and will make a good jumper in time but this looks destined for CELTIC CAILIN. Jessica Harrington's mare took a long time to get the hang of things on her debut at Wexford last month but ran on strongly once the penny dropped and should be good enough for this.
