ADAMS BARBOUR, a winner over this trip at Dundalk in March, was touched off from 5lb higher over an extra furlong there next time then led until mugged on the line over 6f at Sligo. Hodd's Girl completed a Dundalk double at the turn of the year and has run well on ground softer than ideal in her last two starts so looks a threat. That's Mad has only won once but has been running in slightly better company and has to be respected but Poet's Pride is held by the selection on their run at Dundalk and Slade Runner also has something to find on the form book.
