Paul Midgley does well with his raiders so the presence of Rantan, his only runner of the day, is intriguing. His best form has been on soft going though his overall form gives him a bit to find. Sors has a fitness advantage and has dropped to a mark he's capable of winning from, though the ground may not be in his favour. COURT QUEEN makes her handicap debut and is surprisingly rated 3lb lower than when dead-heating for a Tipperary maiden on testing ground in September. With her stable and jockey in fine form, she can make a successful reappearance. Bluesbreaker has been in very good form at Dundalk though is 7lb higher than his last victory while the three-year-old Art Of Unity faces a stiff test in these conditions.
