GARRISON COMMANDER was making his debut for Denis Hogan when Joey Sheridan brought him with a well-timed run to score over a mile at Punchestown. The young rider appeared to have plenty up his sleeve so a 6lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a follow-up. Lady De Vesci scored in very good style under Adan Farragher at Navan and Michael Halford's mare is capable of another big run with a similar rise in the ratings to that of the selection. Sasta landed a Cork handicap and didn't quite get the run of the race at Punchestown next time when the lightly-raced Sydney Blues finished runner-up, his best run to date. Sweet Justice stepped up to this trip for the first time at Tipperary on Tuesday and stayed on strongly so she should go well having dropped 1lb in the ratings. Moving Forward was engaged in the 8.00 at Dundalk last night.
