Colin Keane has been making a name for himself so his mount, Sheilas Wish, will get a good ride though she's still a maiden after 13 starts. Quill And Vellum is also a maiden but got a bit closer at Gowran on Tuesday and Ronan Whelan is an experienced pilot. Catch Light is inconsistent but weighted to run well but Star Of Aragon probably needs further and is better over hurdles these days. Winning bumper ANNIE GO would also benefit from a longer trip but hasn't had much racing for her age and really caught the eye at Ballinrobe last time. The assessor reacted with a 7lb rise, which looked excessive, but she looks capable of better and can take this for Tony Martin.
