Fr Gilligansvoyge looked as though he was ready to win again when runner-up over 2m3f here but was then beaten 17 lengths behind RUDY CATRAIL at Roscommon. The winner has his jumping problems and has been raised 7lb but this doesn't look much tougher and he can go in again. Winnie Woodnutt's recent good form has been over timber and though Steps Match won easily at Roscommon last month he ran moderately on a return visit. Father Jed scored over hurdles at Ballinrobe before well beaten back over fences at Tramore.
