Muzak ran his best race to date over fences at Ballinrobe on Tuesday and can race from a lower mark here so has to be respected. Klassy has yet to win over fences and is probably better on quicker ground and though Island Peak has been running well enough to consider he's had 14 starts over fences and is still a maiden. He's also on his highest ever mark but Mick The Tooth has gradually been dropping in the weights and ran his best race at Tramore last month. Winning point-to-pointer STEADY ED hasn't had much experience under Rules but showed definite signs of improvement at Cork last month and in an ordinary handicap is taken to gain his first success though Torremuelle could pose a threat if anywhere near his best.
