LADY RANGER has looked certain to be on the scorecard soon in her runs this season and will have found fast going and a mile too much for her at Leopardstown on Friday. Her earlier exploits entitle her to the vote and Robbie Dolan's 10lb claim is a massive bonus. Elusive In Paris has four career victories to his credit - but all at Dundalk - while Tom Dooley is another who is better on the Polytrack. Mr Bounty beat the selection at Cork, though that was over 6f - though behind Tom Dooley at Dundalk, he can take his revenge on this ground. Sofi's Spirit, a winner twice in the UK for Stan Moore, has run some strong races since transferred to Ireland and would have an excellent chance if repeating her latest effort at Gowran.
