BUCANEER'S SPIRIT landed a gamble at Cork off a much-reduced mark on return from 6 months off and was value for more. He ran just 3 days ago at Leopardstown but still looks very interesting from this mark. Irish Rumour shaped well when a nose second at Fairyhouse last September and has dropped below her last winning mark, while a return to Roscommon is a positive for Free Solo, who won over C&D last August.
