Turnonthegas won this a year ago but is 10lb higher this time. Followmeuptocarlow was raised 7lb for winning at Down Royal and though on the upgrade this is tougher. Dr Proctor is running very well but continues to climb the weights without winning unlike Big Jemmy, who is probably still on a reasonable mark after his two victories and again ran well over this trip at Limerick last time. TOO LATE TO SELL was heavily supported at Fairyhouse earlier this month and though finding Clashnabrook too strong that was no disgrace as the winner followed up from a 10lb higher mark. Fran Flood's charge can take this though Up The Girls should pose a threat as she was racing over a trip much too short when runner-up to another subsequent winner, Immediate Response, at Clonmel.
