Miss Snossyboots couldn't quite hold off GUINEVERE over the course and distance three weeks ago then found 2m just beyond her a week later. She'll be 4lb better off but the winner looked to have a bit in hand and can complete a double. Pak Army won twice here in the spring but has struggled from 10lbs higher in recent races. Lets Get Started has run quite well in maidens the last twice and makes his handicap debut while Rockview Roman completed a double over 1m2f in the autumn and didn't get the best of runs on his hat-trick bid last month. Muzbid was running very well at the backend of last year though over much shorter trips but Mandarin Monarch has won twice around here and also scored over hurdles at Sligo last summer. Park Row has a very good record around here and is 8lb lower than his last victory so looks a threat.
