Cherish The Pear produced a shock to land a course and distance maiden a couple of weeks ago. There was no fluke about the success and connections believe there's more to come. Honey Bach won a couple of bumpers and scrambled home in a Sligo maiden hurdle when the ground was very heavy but Late Night Deed thrives on fast ground at Clonmel and today's conditions should be ideal. Spring Hawk went off the boil at the end of last year so this is best left to DYSART DANCER, who landed minor events at Downpatrick and Tramore with the promise of much more to come.
