The top pair are the only course winners here and Dollar Value has managed to win 11 races in his career so can never be dismissed. The lightly-raced STRIKING (NAP) got off the mark over this trip at Gowran after an excellent run over timber at Fairyhouse. He's racing from 11lb higher here but looks progressive enough to go in again. Indulging has shown little over hurdles but did much better on the Flat at Bellewstown last month and though Bolero is 0-18 ,her run at Gowran on Wednesday puts her right in the frame. Lariat produced a decent run over this trip at Sligo though would need a bit more but Red Vermillion wasn't far behind the selection last time.
