Killarney National runner-up Your Busy is clearly much better over fences but can race off a 14lb lower mark over the smaller obstacles. AH LITTLELUCK is improving fast, however, and a hat-trick looks on the cards. He's comfortably justified market support in his last two starts and is thriving on good ground. Little Mitch has only won a maiden at Down Royal so far but is running well enough to suggest he'll be adding to that tally before long whereas the handicapper keeps edging Vote Of Confidence up the weights even though he's not been winning. The others will all need to improve on recent efforts to get involved.
