DOWNTHECELLAR is very difficult to oppose as he has completed a four-timer over fences and can revert to hurdles on a 35lb lower mark. Heliers Bay looked like winning at Tramore but was run out of it by Vischio, who was receiving 6lb. Berliet Express, who had been racing over further, dropped down to the minimum at Kilbeggan and gained a shock but easy victory for which he's been raised 11lb. Mama Tried was always in the front rank and stayed on strongly to record a surprise victory at Roscommon and she's up 6lb while Offaly Star ran easily his best race to date at Downpatrick on Monday.
