Let's Twist Again had been running well before a poor effort on heavy ground at Listowel so wouldn't want any more rain. SWINGBRIDGE won a minor handicap at Perth early last month then completed his hat-trick with two victories over fences. He's back over timber on an 18lb lower mark so is difficult to oppose. Meadow Cross gained her first victory over hurdles at Clonmel and is capable of further progress while Uptake was always in the front rank when scoring at Down Royal and will enjoy the conditions. Brave Deed is gradually working towards another victory from this sort of mark and Select Opportunity should be winning soon judged by his run at Wexford where he stayed on strongly. Better Back Bob is consistent though best on quicker ground.
