The veteran Geological gained the 16th victory of his career at Killarney a week ago and though 5lb higher has won from much higher marks. Cleveleys is on a long losing run but gradually dropping to a winnable mark while Philly's Hope is running really well and her rider's claim is a massive bonus. Tashim has never won though couldn't have gone much closer at Gowran while The Bog Bank, who went 29 races without winning, has suddenly found his form and won well at Dundalk last week. INTERNATIONAL LADY returned from a break to run a cracker at Leopardstown last month and she's taken to get back on the winning trail.
