Park Row hadn't shown much before an improved effort to score at Dundalk and there should be more to come as he hasn't had much racing. Vastonea had dropped 20lb in the ratings before scoring at Naas last month and a 5lb rise shouldn't prove too much of a burden. Windsor Beach had been running well before making all over the track and trip under tonight's pilot Denis Lineham so he will be difficult to catch despite a 7lb rise. Three-year-olds have won three of the last four of these so MR ORMSBY (NAP) is taken to keep up the trend. Sheila Lavery's charge just failed to hold off Zebgrey over a mile here before scoring comfortably over that trip at Killarney. He'll stay the extra here and can see off the challenge of Joseph O'Brien's pair Jaqen H'ghar, who hasn't run since scoring here in October, and the consistent Udogo, who may prefer a bit further.
