Mick Mulvaney wastes no time bringing out GRANNY ON FIRE under a penalty after her facile 9l victory at Ballinrobe on Monday and she's very well in after her rise in the weights. She should have no problems completing a quick double though Lindenhurst was a very easy winner over hurdles at Bangor a fortnight ago and her rating on the Flat doesn't do her justice. She may prove the main threat though Seismic definitely improved when stepped up to this trip for the first time at Sligo and has more progress in him. Authorative looks best of the remainder but will need to improve.
