ERIGMOOR did too much too soon at Downpatrick last time and is worth another chance to build previous promise back from a break and down in trip. Falcon Park responded well to this headgear when finally off the mark at Wexford so must be respected on only his third start for this yard, with Ricky Langford another to consider having stopped the slide last time.
