DRUMLISTER may well have won over this C&D last month but for running out and made amends at Tramore on Friday with a comfortable success. Clearly in good heart and loving the fast conditions he should be up to defying a 4lb penalty. Spring Wine was well beaten and looks held and though Saddler's Native is another reappearing quickly after a decent effort at Kilbeggan on Sunday he's now run 37 times over fences without winning. Zest For Life is a cross-country chaser who fell when holding every chance in France last time while Maple Valley Gale ran her best race so far over this C&D last month and remains on a reasonable mark.
