A few of these have been out of sorts lately but that isn't the case with Burnt Oil Babe, who chased home Jacks Island at Clonmel earlier this month and is only 3lb higher here. Tony Martin's Tommy Turkle has crept into the race off bottom weight and could easily improve on what he's shown so far while it's difficult to knock the consistency of Knocklayde Euro, who has finished in the money in his last three starts but is still creeping up the handicap as a result. Drive On Jim rattled up a hat-trick in December and January but hasn't raced since only managing fourth place off his new mark at Thurles in February and the claims of ANOTHER PALM are preferred. Noel Meade's six-year-old has shown definite promise in his first three starts over fences and is attractively weighted in his first handicap.
