Ronald Pump came with a late run to score over 2m4f at Cork and this longer trip should suit him even better while CLONTARF is the only course winner in the line-up though that was over fences. The latter ran very well over 2m7f here last time so gets the vote though the going should suit Agusta Gold, a progressive Downpatrick maiden winner making her handicap debut from what looks a fair mark. Kilkeaskin Molly has never won nor proved she stays this trip but her staying-on second over 2m3f at Naas a couple of weeks ago was her best effort so she's respected. Court Adjourned likes quick ground as she showed when losing her maiden tag at Thurles. She's since fallen over fences on a return visit and still looks reasonably treated.
