DECOR IRLANDAIS, four times a winner between the flags, won a maiden and a novices' contest at Cartmel in the style of a smart staying hurdler. He's only six so there should be more to come and can carry on his unbeaten run. You Can't Catch Me made most for a very easy victory at Killarney and though 9lb higher has to be on the shortlist along with Pump Road, a course and distance winner in April and a winner from 9lb higher at Ballinrobe. The latter is up another 5lb while Trendsetter is up 6lb for his recent course and distance victory and he's also 3lb out of the handicap.
