Johnny Levins was on board when Cochise scored in testing conditions here in March and though his mount is 11lb higher another big run is anticipated. Fairhaven, Some Run and Glenbane Gent all ran well behind Chairmanforlife over the course-and-distance last month and Robbie Jones gets on well with the former, who finished runner-up and should confirm the form. Do You Follow Me started favourite at Clonmel but ran too badly to be true and that effort is best ignored. False Messenger ran well behind Flemensford at Limerick but is still a maiden and is saddled with a big weight so a chance is taken on STONEHATCHETMAD, who hasn't had much experience but has always threatened to be suited by this sort of trip in testing conditions.
