Blow The Doors Off has not run since landing a Gowran maiden in March of last year but Conor O'Dwyer can get one ready as effectively as anyone. Seriatim has some decent form but does not get his head in front often enough and Back Before Dawn has been well beaten this autumn after landing a Leopardstown maiden in January. Another Challenger is another with a very long absence to overcome but he was in excellent form when last seen and if the market speaks in his favour it should be noted. Missyspet completed a double in January and did not take to fences on her reappearance at Clonmel so in a tricky event the vote goes to SHARIYAN. who was returning from a break of well over two years when running well for a long way at Limerick last week having looked a useful handicapper when last seen.
