GEORGIE came in for strong support at Thurles on Thursday after an impressive victory at Galway but he was badly impeded and could never get into contention - compensation awaits here. Baily Dusk gained a surprise victory at Clonmel last week where he jumped very well. That was his first real sign of form over fences and he's still on a lowly mark despite an 8lb rise. Too Late To Sell is another who lost his maiden tag when scoring comfortably over 3m1f at Punchestown, though whether this shorter trip will suit is another matter. Carhue looks high enough in the weights for his handicap debut over fences but Shantalla still looks reasonably treated despite completing a double in September.
