BABY BELLINI carried a feather weight when scoring at Galway in September and had a break before a fair effort at Punchestown on New Year's Eve. He's never run over a trip this far but the ground will help and this isn't the toughest of handicaps. All About Alfie did well to land a Naas handicap but didn't run up to that form from 6lb higher at Limerick a few days later. The Grey Guy has never raced on ground this quick in a long career while Beale Beach has yet to reach a place in 11 starts over hurdles. Capture The Drama would have an obvious chance if getting a run from his reserve spot, despite a big weight, though he was engaged to run at Punchestown yesterday.
