It's hardly surprising to see Liam Burke turning ORDINARY MAN out so quickly after his demolition job at Tramore on Thursday as he'll go up by much more than the 4lb penalty he receives. He's still extremely well treated compared to his chase mark and can follow up despite a big weight. Roadtoabbeyfeale is improving and comfortably won a maiden hurdle at Listowel but this is very much tougher but The Sneezer, much better known as a chaser these days, reverts to hurdling on a 30lb lower mark and should make his presence felt. Talab had dropped to a fair mark before a good run at Kilbeggan while Cherryantor showed his first sign of form when gaining a shock victory at Roscommon.
