MCCABE had shown very little on testing ground before making all for a convincing success on good going at Cork last week for which he's been hit with a 12lb rise. But he only carries a 6lb penalty today and with experienced apprentice Willie Byrne also claiming 4lb, Jim Bolger's charge is effectively 10lb well in. Runner-up Talking Tough has over 4 lengths to make up and looks held while Musical Rue's only success came over 5f. Pixel Power scored over the trip at Leopardstown then found soft ground against her at Cork so should get competitive while seven-times winner Tony The Gent is back on a tempting mark.
