Jembatt is upped a further 7lb after landing a hat-trick with a victory at Bellewstown. He still won with a bit to spare last time and can count Lady Ranger, Takeachanceonme and Queen Zain among his recent victims. Romantic has an 11lb hike to contend with after also scoring at Bellewstown while Cork winner Fairy Flute ran a shocker last time. Smiling Emily posted a much effort last week having slid down the weights but a speculative vote goes to SHEPHERDS CROOK having made the frame at Listowel last month as he has more scope than most of these.
