Trazar hasn't shown much since arriving from Spain but don't dismiss a better display on his handicap bow. Glibin is running really well and will love the ground though she's been raised 10lb for her recent Thurles victory. Sacre Malta didn't enjoy the testing conditions at Punchestown but Sorted is running well enough to be a threat despite being raised 7lb for scoring at Punchestown. Liszt is better over further so this affords MARK ME UP a good chance to finally get off the mark as he was only collared on the run-in by Fiery Oscar at Thurles and a repeat of that effort should see him home.
