LITTLE STEVIE will be all the rage here and it's not difficult to see why. Enda Bolger's charge made a satisfactory debut at Limerick last month before making a quick reappearance a couple of weeks later at Cork where he fell at the last when in a clear lead - compensation awaits here. Sweet Cherry is making steady progress and ran well enough behind Bellow Mome at Punchestown to suggest she will be winning soon while Double Windsor is much better than he showed on his final start in October. Our Lucas showed a bit of promise at Wexford and, along with Deserter, should make his presence felt.
