Hey Johnny and Modreeney, both carry penalties for course and distance victories while Eco Pete has extra for a very convincing success at Downpatrick. Moyode Mist should improve for her run at Sligo while State Of Honor is a newcomer to note. MERLIN GIANT couldn't quite hold the late thrust of Level Neverending at Galway but the winner went on to score by 15l next time so Emmet Mullins' charge should have the beating of these.
