Limit Long is the only one of these to have run on the beach here having scored over 7f at the November meeting. The Blue Panther ended a long losing run over a mile at Gowran last week for which he's been raised 5lb while Hodd's Girl is up a massive 15lb for scoring over this trip at Naas and today's rider claims 2lb less. Elanora makes a quick reappearance after failing to justify favouritism at Navan on Saturday but has to be considered on earlier form but the vote goes to GEGENPRESSING, who carried a big weight to victory on soft ground at Navan last month. Royal Tribute would be an obvious contender if getting a run from his reserve spot.
