A Few Bob Short loves testing ground having scored over the trip at Thurles in October then finished first past the post at Galway a couple of weeks later only to be disqualified. He hasn't gone up in the weights and Joey Sheridan again takes the ride. Guido Reni probably found 1m2f too short when well supported at Navan and this is more like his trip while NOBLE INTENTION also has no problems with the distance. Tony Martin's charge stayed on strongly to score over 1m2f at Navan last week and is still on a fair mark despite a 6lb rise. Drummer, who finished a close fourth in the latter event, can get into the frame while Place Des Vosges should be losing her maiden tag soon judging by her recent runs at Fairyhouse.
