Verdict
Malacanne completed a course and distance double earlier this year and his two later runs were on Turf. Toughen Up has only had six races and has yet to win but that should soon be put right though he finished behind Sir John Monash when they occupied the places at Limerick with Little Keilee back in fourth. The runner-up was having his first start for new connections and should make a bold bid to go one better though THE FOG HORN looks the one to beat. He's been raised 7lb for an easy victory at Gowran but James Ryan has been booked with his 7lb claim. Dromantine was making his handicap debut when scoring here in December. but The Snapper's Cork victory came on heavy ground and he makes his all-weather debut here.
