Snugsborough Benny went up 9lb for his victory at Tipperary and it just seemed to anchor him here next time so he could have done without going up another 1lb. THE RITE ARTICLE (NAP) beat the consistent Theydon Park at Bellewstown before runner-up to the in-form Presenting Julio here on Saturday. He can get back to winning ways if none the worse for his exertions. Iusetaluvheronce produced his best run so far when a close third at Killarney, when Whoyakodding was well beaten, and wouldn't need much more to get into contention.
