With Cato's Revenge a significant non-runner, there's been good support for a couple of horses in the concluding bumper at Tipperary at 8.15.
Peter Fahey 's newcomer Sherodan the mount of Patrick Mullins, heads the market at 7/4 having been available at 5/1 this morning.
Jamie Codd is on Diceman for 'Shark' Hanlon, and this one has been backed from 12/1 into 4/1 with cheekpieces fitted for the first time.
Despite facing a phalanx of J.P. McManus-owned rivals in the featured Grimes Hurdle at 5.15, Sole Pretender (6/4 from 15/8) has maintained his position at the head of the market. Darasso (15/8 out to 3/1) has been easy to back while Band Of Outlaws after his encouraging comeback run on the Flat in May, is into 4/1 from 7s.
With John McConnell back amongst the winners of late, some punters are expecting a big run from course and distance scorer Blankiedoodie in the 5.30 at Bellewstown.
The 8-year-old has come down 12lb in the ratings since the start of the season and Ben Coen's mount has been backed from 16/1 into 5/1.
