Verdict
FAST ON finished runner-up to Madeira Girl over a mile here on Sunday when he was carrying overweight so off his correct mark here he can finally get off the mark. Jappeli loves testing ground as she showed at Listowel last month and probably found the going too quick at Gowran last time. Consonance finished around 10l behind him at Listowel but had earlier landed a tough handicap on very heavy ground at Galway. Man Of Erin looked to be going the right way when he scored at Naas but disappointed when sent off favourite here next time while Ahimsa's only success has come on Polytrack.
