Word For Word is very consistent but doesn't find much at the business end and usually finds at least one too good, though he holds Daytime Dreamer on their run last week. The front-running Ma Ani has dropped to a mark she should be winning off soon but Saint By Day continues to look a few pounds high. Casimir Road has had a run over timber since finishing second in a maiden here and is another with plenty to do at the weights while Passion Planet may have to wait until tackling further to lose her maiden tag. MOSSTOWN doesn't appear an obvious selection but he showed a bit more promise here last month and Johnny Murtagh's presence in the saddle suggests connections mean business.
