Chavi Artist's second to Doctor Duffy at Ballirobe was a fine effort but he didn't get far before unseating his rider in the Munster National at Limerick on Sunday, though this is a big drop in class. Ah Littleluck didn't have much chance in the same race though probably ran better than expected. DEADHEAT (NAP) went up 7lb for scoring at Wexford and though unable to follow up at Listowel was conceding the winner 25lb. Arverne, a winner over hurdles at Auteuil, showed his first sign of form for Gavin Cromwell at Wexford in March and is on a lowly mark but dual hurdles winner Theatre World has only shown moderate form over fences so far.
