Shabra's Bertolini is doubly penalised and though having almost four lengths to spare over Just Get Cracking at Down Royal in February the latter should have little difficulty reversing the form on these terms.

I KNEW WELL had finished runner-up four times before making all at Wexford on St Patrick's Day. He's taken to repeat the process under Slippers Madden as Fruits Of Molly disappointed after a very impressive maiden victory here in October.
