This is a very low grade handicap with most of the entries out of form. Elaysa won twice in Germany, including her latest start in September, so a mark of 61 looks fair enough. Jim Bolger puts a 10lb claimer up on Fiosrach, who showed plenty of promise last season but has to make his handicap debut with a big weight. LIBERTY TO ROCK was having his first start for four months when producing a fair run behind Conan's Rock at Leopardstown last week and, with that under his belt and a lowly rating, he is given the nod. Phils Wish hasn't been performing badly at Dundalk but is still a maiden after 21 starts but Apache Gold can go well if fit enough after a break as he'll enjoy the conditions.
