Nothing of note in three dour performances this season including when last of nine at Ballinrobe when last seen in July. Won here, but that was over two years ago. Looks up against it here.

THEOBALD, the only Jim Bolger runner here, can get a decent pull in to the race from the gallant Geological, with jockey Kevin Manning waiting for the right time to pounce on the Teofilo colt who won over C&D in November. Tony The Gent for the Ger Lyons yard should not be underestimated.
