Verdict

Most of these have been plying their trade at Dundalk over the winter with varying results. Your Pal Tal has been in good form and can revert to Turf on a 6lb lower mark though the reason is that he's never won in 17 starts away from Dundalk. He had Fast In The Wind behind there in March but the latter ran very well back on Turf at Naas last time and can reverse the form. ENTER THE RED likes a bit of cut in the ground so wouldn't want the going to dry out but he ran a cracking race at Navan last month and is just 1lb higher than his victory at Cork in September so gets the vote in an open handicap. Deeds Not Words wasn't far behind at Navan while Doc Sportello landed a Tipperary maiden on testing ground from the maiden High Speed, who is much better off at the weights. If the going firmed up then fast-ground specialist Anonymous Lady would have to be considered after her victory at Ayr.
