Mark Johnston keeps finding opportunities in Ireland for handicappers, as he did once again at Dundalk on Friday with License To Till. The Middleham-based handler is represented here by MISTER ANGRY and he is taken to add to his most recent success at Ascot in August. La Chassotte has been in superb form all season and is a great credit to Gerard O'Leary. She's gone up an incredible 40lbs since gaining her first victory of the campaign but is still a threat and wasn't beaten far at Leopardstown last time. Gimli's Rock should go well as he has scored twice over hurdles since a fine run behind the useful Rajik at Galway but the one to keep an eye on in the market is Table Mountain, who has had just two runs to date, scoring at Navan earlier this month on the second of them, and makes his handicap debut on what could prove a very lenient mark.
