Conron has gone close over hurdles since winning over 2m at Clonmel last month but was raised 14lb for that success. JAKE PETER also suffered a hike in the weights after scoring at Dundalk earlier but was beaten less than a length at Limerick on his return to action and Pat Flynn’s charge looks capable of winning again off his current mark. Venezia has been raised a more lenient 8lb for last month’s success at Navan while the unexposed Shakespear'sgalley is upped in distance on his reappearance and Sbraase won off a higher mark at Wolverhampton in November.
