Cilliseal likes it here, as does Finbin though the latter has been off the track for a while. Copper's Gold is starting to look well handicapped and Craig Nichol takes off a further 7lb while Twice Lucky would have a chance if getting his act together. Ballybanks has been knocking on the door but it's also about time SAM PATCH was winning one of these. The handicapper has resisted the temptation to raise him a couple of pounds after recent placed efforts and Don Whillans' 10-year-old can cash in. Bob Will may be the pick of the remainder ahead of Samson Collonges.
