Tellthemnuttin had shown nothing on heavy going before arriving here a fortnight ago where he proceeded to land a handicap over the distance in emphatic style. Nor surprisingly he's up 10lb but, with the ground again in his favour, he should carry his big weight into the frame. Scenic Star has always looked a stayer so it was a surprise when he ran his best race over timber when tackling the minimum trip at Tramore earlier this month. He should be winning soon while Shabra's Bertolini has dropped to such a lowly mark that it's only a matter of time before he takes advantage. The Informer is 12lb higher than his only victory in August and the four-year-old AUTHORIZED CADEAUX caught the eye at Punchestown last Saturday - the dual Flat winner is taken to gain his first success over timber.
