Barry Geraghty has been in unstoppable form recently and Pru Dobbs has taken the opportunity to book him for FACE FACTS, who is improving fast and showed real battling qualities to score at Ballinrobe. He can complete a double though Seamies Dream, a real fast-ground lover, scored at Clonmel at around this trip before just finding two miles on the short side at Sligo. Mr Nobody has shown nothing but that won't concern followers of Tony Martin and Ruby Walsh though Carrigeen Eile has been making some progress and was only just touched off by Turnonthegas at Wexford. Baby's Hot, a close third to the selection at Ballinrobe, is first reserve and would have an obvious chance if getting a run.
