Cornmarket attracted some support on his handicap debut at Sligo but couldn't handle the heavy ground. High Pitch also made his handicap bow at Sligo where he ran well for a long way over an extra two furlongs so he should go well here. Benjalina helped set a fast pace over slightly further than this at Ballinrobe and paid the price in the latter stages. With more restraint, she can get into the action but it's EASY BOY (NAP) who looks the one to be on. He hadn't shown much before a greatly-improved run at Ballinrobe where he was only beaten off in the closing stages by two much better-fancied rivals.
