Bainne has won off higher marks than this and it wouldn't be a surprise to see a return to form. Secret Memories has been running better than form figures suggest and can be given a chance from this mark while Ben Coen's claim can see So You Thought produce a big run. KORBOUS (NAP) has won over the course and distance and invariably goes well on the track. He's well handicapped at his best and can take this under Leigh Roche. Luna's Luck makes his handicap debut after just three runs at Dundalk so it remains to be seen how he handles the surface but Harry Speed has no problems with the going and has been given a chance by the assessor.
