A strong Irish raid opens the card with the two penalised runners likely to dominate. Both should stay the trip but the fact BELLANEY GEM came good here last month just sways things in her favour as course form frequently proves crucial around this unique circuit. She does step up significantly in trip but proved herself over this distance at Kelso in March. Calagogo landed a small maiden hurdle at Perth recently and will progress again after only a couple of starts over hurdles and is the chief danger. Point-to-point recruit, Do No Wrong, and Hillview, taking a big step-up in trip, are next best but need to improve.
