FormscanBy Gary Carson - The progressive DON'T TALK may be able to strike again here despite another 9lb rise for his win at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. The Jukebox Jury gelding won with a bit in hand when stepping up in trip last time and had also been a cosy winner of this two miles trip previously. There looks scope for a bit more from him. Bynx handled testing conditions well when scoring at Tramore on New Year's Day and looks a danger despite a 7lb rise for that victory. Billy Lee Swagger improved to score at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and is another for a shortlist after a 8lb rise.
