Mizyen will like the ground and should make a bold bid to make all as he did when just caught on the line at Cork in August. Patsio has only raced on ground with plenty of give but he's been running well enough to be considered but this could be the day that UTMOST ZEAL loses his maiden tag over timber. A bumper winner on very fast going in October, he found 2m2f just too far last time and with conditions in his favour looks the one to be on. Master Appeal looks a big threat as he was the only one to give the odds-on Nickname Exit a race at Clonmel last time and he'll have come on for the experience.
