Patrick Mullins was on board when DANI THEATRE made her debut at Clonmel three weeks ago and, though his mount was eventually beaten around 10 lengths, the filly travelled well for much of the race and should have come on enough to take this. The Last Sup was in the front rank for most of the way at Gowran earlier this month and only weakened in the closing stages so he can do better but Work Du Breteau has shown only moderate form. The remaining pair with experience have been well beaten while Sam Curling hasn't had a winner since May and his two newcomers look up against it.
