Rayna is progressing nicely though it wasn't much of a maiden she landed at Tramore and she'll find this much more demanding. Bobskier and the veteran Mahrajaan fought out the finish of a Limerick handicap with the former always just doing enough. There's very little between them at the revised weights but the winner may have the advantage again. However BLUE RIDGE LANE, who finished fourth, was tapped for toe when the pace quickened and with an extra furlong to travel he's taken to gain revenge on the front pair and take this under the excellent Robbie Downey. Madam Mo has only won once in 16 starts but she's shown good form when tried over this trip in the past and should go well.
