Plenty of these arrive in top form including Share The Honour, the comfortable winner of a handicap hurdle at Tipperary earlier this month and on a fair mark back on the Flat. KING PELLINOR was having only his sixth start when landing a heavy-ground maiden at Gowran and should have more to offer so gets the nod though Takarengo is improving rapidly and followed an excellent second at the Curragh by making most on testing ground at Roscommon. Nam has been beaten over hurdles since landing a 1m2f handicap here and the ground is a concern while Severus Alexander has disappointed on the Flat and over hurdles since landing a Listowel handicap. Happy Company is back on the same mark as when last successful though is on a long losing run.
