POSITIVE THINKER scored over fences at Gowran and took advantage of a lower hurdles mark to complete a double at Limerick. Although 8lb higher his rider can claim 7lb back so a hat-trick looks on the cards. Cinsa is an obvious threat having won a Wexford maiden in May. She competed exclusively at Grade 1 level in her first three starts for Willie Mullins but wasn't entirely convincing when landing the odds and meets more experienced rivals. Tomjackwilliam is very progressive having ended last season prematurely with a victory at Limerick in December before reappearing three weeks ago with a head defeat over this track and trip. Whatsavailable could find this on the short side.
