FOLLOW THE CROWD, narrowly beaten in two handicaps at Downpatrick, had just taken the lead when falling at the last at Wexford. That was only his fifth start over fences and compensation awaits. Fly De Megaudais jumped well and galloped his rivals into the ground at Tipperary and though hit with a 10lb rise has to be a threat. Krujers Girl originally started out in Ireland before heading for the UK where she won twice. Now with new connections she was beaten a head in a tight finish at Kilbeggan but awarded the race by the stewards. Dual Hurdles winner Shantou Sisu wasn't beaten far over fences at Downpatrick in May but Walking The Walk continues to frustrate and is 0-10 over fences.
