Drive On Locky went close at Wexford on Friday night and is one to consider if fully recovered from his exertions. COUNT SALAZAR is very well treated over hurdles compared to fences and was backed accordingly at Limerick on Wednesday but a couple of errors put paid to his chances. With his rider claiming 5lbs here he's taken to recoup loses. Kilmainham has only won once but tackles a new trip and could be suited while All Honours won over this course and distance a year ago and is just 3lb higher. Bell Weir was in top form around this time last year but shot up the weights and has been unable to recover his form.
