Table Mountain won twice for Ballydoyle last season and reverts to the Flat after a moderate debut over timber at Thurles in January. He still has the scope to do better as does Gift From The Sea, an impressive debut winner here in September and nowhere near her best on her reappearance at Tipperary. Reggae Rock's best form has been on heavy ground but the three-year-old NEGOTIATE looks the one to be on. Andy Oliver's filly performed at a high level in her first season and returned to action with a surprise but well deserved success in what looked a very tough fillies' maiden at Gowran. Elusive Ridge ran quite well behind Mountain Pride at Leopardstown on Thursday and makes a quick reappearance.
