Verdict
The veteran Archie Meade had been running poorly before a surprise victory at Naas and, though up 5lb, he's much better handicapped than over fences. Zipporah isn't very consistent and went up 7lb for scoring at Thurles but LITTLESTICKARUBARB was so convincing on testing ground at Cork thanTan 8lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a double. Tintown Robin hasn't been seen since December and may just need the run in the prevailing conditions.
