Akadyr is still a maiden ater 16 starts and only ran moderately over three miles at Kilbeggan last time. Knockbrack Lad has had very little experience and ran his best race to date when stepping up to 2m4f at Clonmel. He's one with a chance as is Baby's Hot, a disappointment at Limerick after a very good run at Ballinrobe previously. Seaside Shuffle was the subject of a massive gamble at Clonmel in December but finished up well beaten. The stable don't like leaving their money at the bookies so another punt may be on the cards and the market is best watched. EVER DREAMING looks a safer option as she showed improved form when well supported at Tramore last month and made a bad mistake which knocked her out of contention at Limerick subsequently.
