Conduct Yourself comfortably landed a Tramore maiden and didn't get the best of runs on her handicap debut at Naas and can do better. However, LONG HOUSE ISLAND finished just in front of her on his return from a very long break after being well supported and Denis Hogan's charge can gain compensation. Catcheragain has been steadily progressing and did well to finish runner-up in a Clonmel maiden last month while Copy Print came here for a handicap a fortnight ago and battled to victory for which he's been handed a 5lb rise. Whisky Galore has scored over hurdles and fences within the last few weeks though he has a very poor strike-rate overall and the main threat may arrive in the shape of Dragon Khan, who had been performing with credit on the Flat before a decent run at Fairyhouse two weeks ago.
