The first division of a very moderate handicap in which the market could prove a good guide. Kalmez was beaten a short-head by Ever Dreaming over this trip at Tramore in April and would have a major chance on that form, though he's since run poorly on the Flat. SATWA KING wasn't far behind at Tramore and, though since well beaten at Limerick over the minimum trip, looks as though he's ready to win again soon and today could be his day. Dual winning bumper Character Actor produced his best form over hurdles when runner-up to Dineur at Bangor and a repeat of that effort would see him go close while Lord Liscreagh hasn't had much experience and was noted staying on at Tipperary last time.
