Don't Tell Allen couldn't get anywhere near the odds-on Eskylane here in January but is certain to make progress. The winner is trained by Gordon Elliott who has two engaged here. Jimmy Jimmy was battling on at Fairyhouse though TORYGRAPH looks a more likely winner as he appeared to find 2m2f on heavy going at Limerick just beyond him in December. Barbary Master will come on for his run at Thurles though will do better over further.
