Vastonea was running really well at the backend of last season culminating in a narrow victory over a huge field at Leopardstown. He returned to action around this time a year ago with a victory so a long absence shouldn't pose a problem. Dual Wolverhampton winner Pushaq has yet to reach a place on Turf but DANCING DOLL, a winner at Dundalk in November, caught the eye with a powerful finish on her reappearance at Down Royal and can take this under Oisin Orr. Rummaging hasn't won for two years but has dropped to a fair mark as a consequence while Mainicin is on a 3lb lower mark than when completing a Dundalk double earlier in the year. Room To Roam makes a quick reappearance after a fair run in a better race than this at Roscommon on Monday.
