The second division of this handicap looks more open than the first but potential punters will need to watch out for the first heat and the performance of D's Trix as MATS TEACHER, Klipper Breeze and Clan Music occupied the places when he scored at Cork. The former is slightly worse off at the weights here but hasn't had much experience and was producing by far his best performance. Premier Hero found three miles too far at Limerick last time after an excellent second to Shake The Bottle over today's trip there. Allys Bubble has been gradually improving and makes her handicap debut from what looks a realtively modest mark.
