Space Cadet reappeared to score over the minimum trip on heavy ground at Roscommon but couldn't handle the step up to Grade 2 company on this track later. If the going turned testing then Sonny B would enter calculations as he was in excellent form in heavy conditions in the spring. Whatareyoudoingtome made massive progress last season and ended with a double in the spring so an 8lb rise may not be insurmountable on his comeback. Tiger Sam won a couple of minor races in the autumn then only got as far as the first on his hat-trick attempt at Fairyhouse. WHITE ARM hasn't shown much since landing a Navan handicap in January but a return to that kind of form gives him a chance so he's taken to double his winning tally.
