Baily View loves testing ground and has dropped to a reasonable mark though he has a poor strike-rate over fences. Profit Margin made several mistakes before scoring over 2m5f at Fairyhouse but a 9lb rise and this longer trip look a daunting prospect. MISTER FIRST was racing over this distance for the first time when producing a much improved effort behind Come To The Party at Limerick last week and Robert Hennessy's youngster can make further progress and take this. Mister Farmer hasn't had much racing since scoring on heavy going at Punchestown a year ago and can make his presence felt.
