Stumptown looked as though he needed this sort of trip when staying on late over 2m2f at Thurles. Follow The Crowd was in the lead when falling at the last at Wexford then gained compensation at Roscommon. He found very testing ground against him at Galway next time and looks certain to make a bold bid. JOHN ADAMS is the only course and distance winner having scored comfortably in January. He made a promising reappearance over the banks course and his rider is very good value for his claim. Brampton Belle, a Listed winner over timber, has been highly-tried in two starts over fences and makes her handicap debut but Friendly Star will need to jump better than at Fairyhouse earlier this month.
