DA BIG FELLA's latest run behind Baldur's Gate at Punchestown should be ignored as he pulled a shoe and he's best judged on his narrow defeat at Galway as the winner then went on to score at Cheltenham. Rolly Bowley Boy ran a fine race over a trip much too short here on Tuesday while Evies Vladimir came from a long way back to finish runner-up over 2m4f at Down Royal the same day. Lady Kate had been in poor form before a much better run at Thurles last week but a similar effort can see her in the firing-line.
