Patsio has a huge weight but has scored off a higher mark in the past though he hasn't run since New Year's Day. Shake The Bucket ran a fine race behind Storm Rising at Galway last week and though that was over shorter he has no problems with this trip. BLACK LABEL ran two good races on the level before gaining a comfortable victory over timber at Limerick where he was always travelling well. He's up 6lb but this looks no tougher and he can go in again. Balinaboola Steel is still a maiden but ran his best race for a while at Wexford last time and wouldn't need much more to get involved while Fintara has been going well over fences and reverts to hurdles on an 11lb lower mark so has to go on the shortlist. The four-year-old North Carolina has had very little experience but has shown potential and is one to note in the market though at this stage his stable companion Castle Howard, who wasn't far behind the selection at Limerick, may prove a better bet.
