Solaras Exhibition has been beaten over timber since beating just four rivals at Tramore and this is tougher. Annamay looked useful when scoring at Leopardstown last October but hasn't been seen since while The Drunken Dr is still a maiden after 13 starts. Another maiden, HANGAR FIVE, looks the one to be on as he's been in excellent form of late and it's only a matter of time before he gets on the score sheet. Elizabeth Coffee had shown nothing before a surprise victory at Clonmel and a 4lb rise looks lenient though that was on fast ground. Fellisha was going on strongly over a mile at Killarney and this trip looks certain to suit.
