Hello Sweetie completed a double over fences here in May but failed to take advantage of a much lower handicap mark over timber at Cork. The four-year-old ASHJAN looked a winner-in-waiting when runner-up over a longer trip at Downpatrick and Mark McNiff's charge made no mistake on a return visit where Steven Kelly made good use of his stamina. He's up 8lb but is progressing nicely and can defy the extra. Rapid Fritz is generally consistent without winning and will have come on for his first start for John Carr at Roscommon. Kilkeaskins First was behind the selection in the first of those two Downpatrick Runs and looks better over further.
