REDERA has a bit more to do than when landing a handicap at Limerick but he won in such good fashion that a follow-up looks likely. Echo Bob is still a maiden over hurdles and has been chasing but has some useful form to his credit and looks a real threat. Mayo Mystique is very much on the upgrade but faces fast ground for the first time and both Bachelor Lad and Presenting Nama have been showing their best form over further.
