It's All An Act won a couple of minor bumpers at Perth before sent to Cheltenham for a Listed contest where he was soon put in his place. He has a fine jumping pedigree and is on the shortlist. Moonlight Boy ran very well behind Sizing Granite here a fortnight ago and should get into the mix but Spot Fine once again looked one-paced when only third at Thurles on Thursday. ARACATACA was a 50/1 chance against the odds-on Bonzo Bing at Clonmel but caught the eye with a cracking effort and he would have given the winner something to think about but for a mistake at the second last. He's taken to go one better in a tight maiden.
