The second division of this maiden can go to TALAB, who can make the 8lb he receives from Road Train Bob count. Dessie Hughes' lightly-raced charge looked a certain future winner when chasing home Moon Dice over 2m4f at Limerick a month ago and this should be within his capabilities. Road Train Bob is much more experienced and would be an obvious choice on his close second to Nodouraboura at Cork last month but he didn't run so well on the same track last time and may not be up to conceding weight to the selection. Run Along Boy has run poorly in two starts over timber but looked a much-improved performer when landing a Kilbeggan bumper last time and there's more to come from Kieran Purcell's gelding. Ben Of Fore produced his best effort to date when runner-up to Russian War over the course and distance last month and would be a real threat is able to repeat that performance.
