Muirhead, who is penalised for last month's success over three rivals at Ballinrobe, is better over further over hurdles and will be tackling fences again before too long. Fast ground suits Takeyourcapoff as she showed at Tramore last month and she should have conditions in her favour and though it was very heavy when PLAN A scored at Listowel he goes on today's ground. Still only four, he's likely to make further progress and is taken to see off the improving Mackeys Forge, who produced his best display so far when just touched off by Lambro in a Grade 2 novices' event over 2m4f here in April.
