Suain Na Draoicht relished the test of stamina at Sligo and can't have been right when beaten a long way at Thurles. Mont Saint Vincent won at Ffos Las and made a positive debut for Eric McNamara at Tipperary while Camino Rock did much better when stepped up to 2m7f at Thurles. CHEERFUL CHAP (NAP) made much of the running when stepped up to 2m5f at Tramore and went clear from two out to win easily. He's been raised 9lb but can go in again. Earths Furies ran very well when reverting to hurdles here last month and has a course victory to his credit.
