Several of these met in a similar handicap over the C&D last month when Non Tiscordardime had MAN IN BLACK in the runners-up spot, Rosa Dieci in third, Swordmaster fifth, Great Realief seventh and previous Dundalk winner Hepburn ninth. The winner was raised 9lbs which along with an extra furlong proved too much to handle on his subsequent start here and Man In Black, who was staying on at the finish and is blinkered for the first time, gets the nod to reverse the placings. Your Groovy has shown his best form on polytrack but Gypsy Rose showed promise on her early starts last season and may be the type who is best fresh.
