FIERY OSCAR won two handicaps over hurdles at Clonmel before completing his hat-trick over fences at Tramore. Not surprisingly he's shot up the weights but is in such good heart that a four-timer looks on the cards. Time Please is on the upgrade and beat subsequent winner Treacy Hotels Boy in a Tramore maiden so could have got in here lightly. Follow The Sign looked a smart prospect when landing a Fairyhouse maiden in February and though beaten a long way subsequently it has been in much better class. Whiskey And Rye had the selection behind at Clonmel in February and though he has shot up the weights he's still running well enough to pose a threat while Coldstonesober showed his first sign of form for a long time over fences recently and if able to repeat would be a threat to all.
