Whatharm is probably warming up for a winter at Dundalk where he won his last two races at the end of last year. Limit Long is best with plenty of give as he showed at Fairyhouse so conditions will be in his favour. He holds Kodiqueen on that run while Midnight Fire is improving rapidly and makes his handicap debut after landing a course and distance maiden from today's rival Glow Worm, who has should have the advantage on today's terms though is 0-19. Noirvento and Enter The Red are both capable of big runs and the former holds HELL LEFT LOOSE (NAP) on their run at Limerick but the latter could have more to offer and got no sort of run on his hat-trick bid at Listowel so gets the vote. Pretty Boy Floyd ran well at Navan last week but is 0-15 while Fugacious is 0-18 but has been going well over 7f and 1m and Gavin Ryan's claim will help.
