Jet Fighter was well beaten here on Tuesday, when Lesssaidthebetter tried to refuse and unseated his rider. The former's yard also run An Droichead Gorm, still a maiden after 14 starts but bought to run over these obstacles. Happy Victory scored over the point-to-point course here in February, with Keenaghan Lass three lengths behind and Fr Gilligansvoyge a further seven lengths back, but has run very poorly in his next two starts. The latter improved massively when dead-heating with Three By Two at Borris House next time and the form was boosted when that rival won here on Tuesday. SPEAKER THOMAS was alongside Happy Victory when coming down two out in here in February and Shark Hanlon's charge has since beaten Artic Weather at Stradbally so gets the nod.
