HE'S LEADING ME ON gained a welcome first success after stepping up to 2m4f at Tramore for which he's penalised. He was always travelling nicely so the drop back in trip shouldn't be a problem. Ciankyle has won twice around here though his best recent form has been over fences but Sphagnum looks a threat. An easy winner over 2m4f here last month, he just failed to concede 15lb to the winner at Killarney next time and should make a bold bid to defy another 4lb rise. Ballinlough Gale could have his recent second place here boosted by Mary Meehan earlier and should be losing his maiden tag soon.
