STEEL WAVE (NAP) had shown signs of ability in bumpers and at Cork in August where his saddle slipped when in contention. He was well supported to gain compensation at Galway last month and did so with the minimum of fuss so even an 8lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a double. The five-year-old No Kidding has been showing up well over shorter trips and should have no problems staying judging by his latest run and though Copy Print is still looking for his first victory he's been running well enough to get into contention. Rosie Revenue scored over 2m7f at Downpatrick but has looked one-paced in subsequent starts at Perth while Elis Gury, who went up 8lb for his victory at Wexford in July, found the extra too much to handle at Tramore the following month.
