Tales Of Milan won at Limerick last month but found MOUNT SION much too good when sixth at Roscommon earlier this month. The latter wasn't unduly troubled to score by a cosy couple of lengths and there looks more to come from Enda Bolger's chaser. Ballyhampshire Man won a beginners' event at Wexford but struggled back at the same track on his handicap debut when Fourth Class finished third. Fairwood Bob posted a better effort at Tramore last week and Don't Stop Me Now has the past form to figure but hasn't raced since 2011.
