Focussed is very consistent and has been given a chance by the assessor with a 2lb drop despite some good efforts. Millington had been in good form before scoring at Roscommon last week for which he's been raised 8lb , the same amount that PORT MERRION has gone up for losing his maiden tag at the Curragh last month. Jessica Harrington's charge is best over this trip on ground with some give so looks the one to be on. The lightly-raced So Sensible was travelling easily at this trip before finding 1m2f beyond him at Ballinrobe and with his low weight can find a place on the podium.
