TULLYPOLE ANNIE has found a nice seam of form on both starts this season and was only a short head away from making it 2-2 at Wexford last month. Her progress sees her 10lb higher in the handicap but she has trip and ground in her favour again and sets the recent form standard. However, she was only a couple of lengths ahead of Run Like Fada at Ballinrobe and the latter looks dangerous at 7lb better off - if reproducing improvement shown that day. Berliet Express would be a player if getting a run and the two to find in the markets are the totally unexposed handicap newcomer, Helios Smart, and Millyinthemiddle, hardly seen since the summer of 2020.
