Go Paddy Go won a course and distance handicap just over a year ago before a narrow defeat over 2m4f in April. He has a long absence to overcome but won't mind the conditions and nor will Lilshane, though the latter has gone back up in the weights after last week's second at Navan. Adreamstillalive gained her first victory in a Tramore maiden on New Year's Day and followed up in very good style at Gowran later in the month. She'll be supported for a hat-trick and should go well but may find DYLROW (NAP) has her measure. Robbie Hennessy's charge had shown some potential in 2015 but didn't reappear until December where his second race back was in the one won by Adreamstillalive at Gowran. He caught the eye that day then made no mistake when strongly supported here a couple of weeks ago and can follow up from 6lb higher. Sanibel Island ran poorly here last time and his maiden victory was gained on good ground.
