Clifton Miss won a little race at Ayr last summer but hasn't shown much in three starts here. Cristy's Call was in fine form here in the spring, completing a double including off a higher mark than this, while the lightly-raced Carraigin Aonair showed potential on his first start over this trip here early last month. He finished a couple lengths behind runner-up ONDAMOURA on that occasion and can get closer but the latter has proved very consistent since stepping up to this trip and is probably still well treated. Thywillbedone scored over timber in November and makes her handicap debut from such a lowly mark that she is likely to pose a threat. There won't be many Aidan O'Brien-trained runners with a mark of 47 and Absorbing may be capable of better now she's stepping up in trip.
