Your Pal Tal enjoyed a cracking time of things on the all-weather during the winter and will be a danger to all if replicating that level back on turf on his first run since February. Oor Jock has dropped down the handicap to an exploitable mark and seems sure to crop up in one of these handicap sprints sooner or later and Chris Hayes is back in the plate today. Joe Eile seems a much happier horse returned to Ger Lyons after over a year in England if his last two runs are anything to go by and he should be in the mix too but LILY'S PRINCE is preferred. He's not the most consistent but if near the level of his decisive success on his penultimate start at Cork then he'd be the one to beat. He has his optimum conditions and hopefully can reproduce that Cork level of performance here.
