LOVE ME took a sizeable step forward when landing a big-field handicap at Navan last month and, with the performance supported by the timefigure, she's taken to defy an 8 lb rise and follow up. Johnny Blue shaped encouragingly on his recent stable debut at Cork and is second choice, with Addragoole another to consider having been handed a fair-looking opening mark.
