THEPARTYSOVER could hardly have been more impressive when landing a novices' handicap at Downpatrick in March, which is why the handicapper raised him 12lbs. He got no further than the first on his subsequent start at Sligo but can make amends here. Fabled landed a maiden on very fast ground here last June and ran well enough later from his revised mark to suggest he shouldn't be dismissed despite top weight. Mullagh Abu was gaining his maiden victory on his 22nd start at Downpatrick but he likes fast ground and should make a bold bid to defy an extra 6lbs. The Occupier showed his first real sign of form behind Headford Flyer here at the beginning of the month but will need to find more improvement and a bigger threat may emerge from Stretch The Truth, whose second to Takestan at Punchestown on his penultimate start in October would put him in the frame for this.
