ROYAL BORU (NAP) would be going for a four-timer but for falling at the last at Perth and connections take advantage of coming here with a 6lb penalty for Tuesday's victory over Stay With It at Ballinrobe. The latter looks certain to go well again but the places can be confirmed. Sharjah has been in superb form on the Polytrack at Dundalk and if transferring that progress to hurdles will be very difficult to beat. Tempo Mac has made good progress in his two latest starts and is at the right end of the handicap to make his presence felt.
