Cheval Rouge is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and though she hasn't run since October the handicapper has given her a chance if the ground turns soft. Specific Gravity has a strike-rate of 3-51 though he's been in decent form recently and comfortably landed a claimer over this trip at Dundalk. The Ice Meister hasn't won since his two-year-old days though he's raced at a slightly higher level but Ebasani has never fulfilled the potential he showed in his early days. The maiden Pat Harkin has let supporters down too often so a chance is taken on MAINICIN. Jim Bolger has struck form with a vengeance and though the Teofilo filly has yet to reach a place she ran well enough at Naas last time to suggest this could be her day.
