JOHNNY LITTLE LEGS shaped as if needing his first start for 8 months when midfield in a 13-runner Thurles handicap 8 days ago and, having knocked on the door at that venue earlier in the year, he's worth a chance to build on that here. Sadies Trix and Dessie's Diamond are a couple of others to consider, along with Crackaway.
