Barry Geraghty drove Capellanus to a hard-fought success on heavy ground at Galway and connections shouldn't be too disappointed with a subsequent 5lb rise. SOME PRESENT's career has been on hold since he was placed behind Dunguib in a Leopardstown Grade 1 last February but he will have come on for his recent run at Gowran and can take this on his handicap debut. Dual bumper winner Dazzling Susie made a very impressive start over hurdles here last May and was made favourite for a Grade 3 on her return to action at Down Royal a fortnight ago but fluffed her lines and was well beaten. Mubrook is looking a few pounds high in the weights but Scottish Boogie probably has more to give and makes his handicap debut from a fair mark.
