Tommy Turkle has been fancied for a couple of similar handicaps but was well beaten at Down Royal and brought down at the first on his latest start at Kilbeggan. D's Trix is tried in first-time blinkers after a poor run at Limerick and he'll need them to have the desired effect. BETHEHOLYGOBBS has been racing over further and scored over three miles at Thurles in January but he's equally adept over this trip and ground conditions are in his favour. Hot Friend has run some fair races but is still a maiden after 25 career starts and Deputy Consort may do better as he ran well behind Noble Commander at Limerick earlier in the month.
