Firstman, a dual winner in France, was well beaten in the Ulster Derby last month but has dropped to a more realistic mark and his in-form young rider further reduces the weight. Easca Peasca is gradually getting the hang of the job and led for a long way over 1m3f on heavy going at Killarney but this can go to CANFORD LIGHT. Tom Mullins' charge has only had five runs and was noted staying on steadily over 1m2f at Cork a couple of weeks ago so a 1lb drop in the ratings will be welcomed by connections and Colin Keane is on board again. The stable also run Toughari, another lightly-raced type who was going on nicely at the finish last time.
