Willie McCreery has won the last two of these so recent Dundalk maiden winner Tammy Wynette is greatly respected on her handicap debut. It's Two O Clock made a successful debut at Dundalk in November but looked a few pounds high on his handicap bow there a couple of weeks later. Urban Beat looked well suited to heavy going at Navan last month and has plenty of weight as does Red Persian, though the latter battled on strongly when scoring at Dundalk. Richard O'Brien is making a name for himself and Navan winner Maymine will find this less daunting than the Listed race she ran in at Naas on Monday. CANFORD ART beat It's All A Joke at Dundalk then just failed to hold on there next time. She has the scope to go on to better things and gets the nod in a tricky handicap.
