Verdict
GO IT ALONE had shown nothing since landing a point-to-point in 2014 but was well supported on his handicap debut at Thurles in February and was very impressive. He's been handed a massive 15lb rise but, with conditions again in his favour, he's taken to complete a double. Edvardo is in good heart and has the edge on Lisclogher Lad on their 1-2 at Navan in January while Ancient Highway continues to make good progress and a 7lb rise for beating a big field at Clonmel doesn't look excessive. Uptake, beaten a long way behind Edvardo at Limerick last month when attracting strong support, gained compensation in no uncertain terms at Fairyhouse a couple of weeks ago and though 9lb higher should get into contention.
