VERMOUT FOUGERAY had shown nothing before a much improved run at Galway where he may have won but for a bad mistake two out. He was surprisingly well supported that day and though conceding weight to younger rivals here can gain compensation. Way Wild West has produced some decent runs but has also been disappointing as he was at Listowel last time. Brog Deas Nua returned to form at Clonmel last week where he had Mouskerize behind while Conduct Yourself makes a quick reappearance after a good run behind newcomer Dragon Fei at Tipperary on Tuesday.
