This will take some winning but WILLIAM DU BERLAIS has more scope than most and looks to have got in lightly with just a 5lb rise for beating the in-form Old Castletown over the minimum trip at Fairyhouse, where he stayed on to lead close home. Hurry Kitty and Lisa's Legacy fought out a finish at Tramore with the former just coming out best and likely to do so again while Rolling Revenge made a sparkling return to action over this track and trip last week and should go well again despite a 9lb rise. First To Boogie, who finished third in that latter event, is entitled to reverse positions on the revised terms while the likes of Jack Slade, who had been unlucky at Down Royal in August and came good at Fairyhouse, plus A Twist Of Fate, an easy winner at the same fixture, have to be respected from their lowly marks.
