The veteran Mick Charlie is up 8lb for his Fairyhouse victory but has won off a higher mark in the past. Tomjackwilliam was very progressive at the back end of last year culminating in a Limerick handicap success in December on heavy ground. Chapel Street won here in June and beat a big field at Cork a fortnight ago and though Kings Halo is inconsistent he'd be a threat to all on his Limerick success in March. VINTAGE GOLD landed a Killarney handicap and would have been placed at Listowel but for falling at the last so can get back on the winning trail, though Fairyhouse winner Brownstone would have a chance if getting a run from his reserve spot.
