I KNEW WELL didn't look over enthusiastic when beaten by Argentino at Clonmel - his fourth runners-up spot in succession. But the winner is progressive so Tom Taaffe's charge gets another chance to redeem himself. Lets High Five It has had his jumping problems and again made a mistake when runner-up to Toushan at Gowran but a clear round should see him in the frame. Bursledon didn't handle the heavy ground at Tramore and is better judged on his debut run here in October while Motown Bob is another who could do with the going drying out. Flaviana made mistakes on her debut over timber at Navan but ran well enough to suggest she can get into the mix with a better round.
