It's a surprise to find ANGEL PALANAS in a claimer after his hat-trick in handicaps but connections may feel he'll be too high in the weights from today. He's rated 9lb higher than Dark Magic, a dual winner in mid-summer, and the latter will be receiving 12lb with jockey claims taken into consideration. Lincoln was only receiving 1lb when 10 lengths behind the selection at Leopardstown on Friday but will be 12lb better off so has to finish very much closer. Tony The Gent was beaten in a Dundalk claimer on Friday though found 1m2f too far and is capable of bouncing back under Colin Keane while Marmolata, who has been racing over hurdles, is another with possibly more to offer than she's been showing. Stamp Of Authority was engaged in the 2.35 at Gowran yesterday.
