Red Army Blues finally got off the mark when narrowly accounting for Expire at Bellewstown and, with Ger Lyons' horses in sparkling form, he should give a good account. Tsar Paul, who has won over 7f here, has been running well but this will be his first-ever start over the minimum trip and may find himself outpaced. PRESCIENT makes her handicap debut and would be an absolute certainty if able to recapture her debut form when less than two lengths behind Misty For Me at the Curragh. She showed good pace on her reappearance there last month and gets the vote to gain her first success. Mt Weather scored at Bellewstown on the first day of the month but made little progress from a 4lb higher mark at Tipperary on Saturday.
