Drive The Bus won over 2m4f here in August but has been well beaten in his most recent starts but his stablemate Beautiful Ben is only 2lb higher than his victory at Killarney in July and should be nearing his peak. SPRING FORWARD has been well supported in his last two starts in March and though not coming up to scratch this isn't the best of races and the slightly better ground can enable him to recoup losses. Noel Meade tries Hoodoo Brown in blinkers after a poor run at Down Royal while the veteran The Fox Tully ran well on his last start over hurdles in November and a couple of recent spins on the Flat will have put him straight.
