TIPPIN AND TAPPIN routed the opposition when opening his account between the flags in May and followed up back under Rules in a Limerick handicap chase later that month. A 5 lb rise for that is tolerable and further success awaits Enda Bolger's charge. West Clare found just one too strong at Tipperary last time and, along with Kalnoo and Walk In Time, he has to enter calculations.
