The Big Chap is the only course winner having scored over a furlong shorter in May before a moderate effort at Tipperary. INFORAPENNY gave notice of better to come when placed at Roscommon and duly landed a Bellewstown handicap. He's up 5lb but a double beckons. Yulong Voice scored on good ground at Killarney last summer and should have conditions to suit while Rock On Seamie started favourite for a better race than this at Listowel but couldn't handle heavy ground. Pale Blue Dot is still a maiden and better over further.
