It could pay to look no further than recent Tramore runner-up RED CASTLE (NAP) in this. Arthur Moore's charge was headed close home by Icelip last time but should confirm running with the third Miss Faithful, Cliffside Park, Omega Springs and Cuddly Me. Slygufftou wasn't beaten far at Clonmel recently and can race off the same mark here while Pace And Passion went close at Down Royal last month only to disappoint on her latest start. Moonunderwater was placed over 2m off a similar mark here in April and could go well again.
