CARRIGREADY attracted very strong support on his debut at Clonmel and travelled well for much of the way, only finding Coolmeen Hill to strong in the closing stages. Compensation awaits here though Mr Showtime also made a promising start in testing ground at Roscommon and today's better conditions should suit. Hardline beat two opponents between the flags in February and though performing with credit in a Fairyhouse bumper last month the form has taken a knock subsequently. The remainder look to have plenty to do.
