A low draw is best here which may rule out Rateel, who won a minor handicap at Naas earlier this month. He'd been beaten around five lengths by VICTORIOUS SECRET at Dundalk earlier and though that was over 7f the latter showed her wellbeing by completing a double here a week ago for which a penalty may not prevent a hat-trick. Tithonus is in cracking form though Denis Hogan will be hoping the forecast rain arrives in time and the in-form Tipperary handler is also represented by Burren View Lady, who has slipped to a fair mark and has Seamie Heffernan on board. Mcguigan was having his 16th start when losing his maiden tag here last week though that was over 1m1f and he's never raced over a trip this short. Falcao is 12lb higher than his last victory though still managed to run well from this mark at Naas last time. Feeling Easy was a two-year-old when she last won in the UK but perhaps a change of scenery will revitalise her.
