Verdict
Sharp Focus battled on strongly to score at Killarney last week and though racing with a penalty neither the extra weight nor the longer trip should pose a problem. Overheer led 2f out at Roscommon but couldn't hold the winner Ally Cay, who was receiving 4lb. Joe Murphy's charge has been raised 7lb, which looks harsh, though that was only his fifth start and further progress is likely. HANS SOLO was finishing strongly over a mile at Limerick and was beaten less than a length. He looks to have got away with it as he can race from the same mark so compensation awaits. New Vocation has been running well and providing the ground doesn't ease she can get into contention.
