MOVING ON was gaining his first victory since 2008 when making most at Ballinrobe and is in very good heart. An 8lb rise makes things more difficult but there isn't much strength in depth here and he can follow up. Parthian Empire, a winner over 2m4f at Listowel in June, ran very well over this trip at Kilbeggan last time though he's 9lb higher than his winning mark. Misty Weather beat a decent field of maidens at Wexford though that was on very fast going and though Dizzy Rascal was running well in the spring her victory at Thurles in April was her only success in 33 starts over timber. Dunroe Boy is better than he showed at Galway last week but Spirit Tornado hasn't been seen since June 2010 and is likely to need this.
