Skylancer hasn't run badly in his last two starts and is just beginning to come down the handicap but Tipperary winner Vinnes Friend has questions to answer after pulling up at Kilbeggan next time and Charger let supporters down at Clonmel last time. Clancy Strand could improve on his comeback third at Roscommon, however, and makes more appeal than Down Royal winner Shabra Charity, who finished some way adrift of NIVEK'S DREAM at Downpatrick earlier. Patrick Martin's gelding has conditions in his favour again and can follow up here.
