Get Out Of Jail continues in excellent form and only just failed to follow up his victory at Galway on heavy going at Limerick though has gone up another 6lb. Les Arceaux was sent to Carlisle for a minor handicap and came up trumps so he looks a threat on ground that suits but VOCAL RESURGENCE (NAP) will take some beating. Jim Bolger's charge had shown nothing before making his handicap debut in an apprentice race at Roscommon where he came home in great style on heavy going. Kevin Manning takes over today and a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent his mount going one better. The combination of Gavin Cromwell and Pat Smullen looks interesting with Isabella Vite, though she's held by the selection on that Roscommon run.
