OH CLEO looks on a fair mark for her handicap debut after good runs in maidens at Navan and here last month. Ger Lyons' filly attracted strong support last time and made the running until headed in the final strides. Jaafel's victory over Leclerc has been given a boost by the runner-up and a 5lb rise shouldn't prevent a big run while The Mpex Kid has only had four starts here and won two of them. Trueba was only a length behind when the latter won here early last month when not getting the best of runs while Notforalongtime battled on strongly to hold off Tynamite, who was receiving 17lb, last time so should make a bold bid for a hat-trick. The in-form Miss Abby Jools would have an obvious chance if getting a run.
