A very tricky looking handicap in which Breaking News, a winner on heavy going at Naas in November, would be a major threat if the going eases further as she looks on a lowly mark. Time And Money has produced his best form at Dundalk though there's no reason he shouldn't be as effective on Turf while Collaborating made a successful debut at Gowran in June so the lack of a recent run won't be a problem. OUT ON FRIDAY won twice last summer under Colin Keane and the champion is on board again so he gets the nod though Thefaithfulindian showed himself to be very versatile when winning three times last summer from 1m up to 1m4f. Stately Home has only ever run in Polytrack maidens.
