KILKEASKINS FIRST came home with any amount up his sleeve last time out at Kilbeggan, producing career-best effort in doing so. He's gone up 9lb for that win but if he turns up in the same mood today, it is by no means certain to stop the follow-up attempt. Fiesole is a live threat having been in excellent form both over these obstacles and on the Flat lately while Roachdale House, Banjo and handicap debutant Creeping Ivy are others worth some scrutiny.
