ODDJOB beat Caulfields Venture by six lengths over course and distance last week. David Pipe puts up 7lb claimer Kieron Edgar to counteract his penalty and he could easily follow up in a handicap than lacks strength-in-depth. Loughalder won over track and trip last month off an 11lb lower mark while there are possibilities about Ffos Las scorer Waltzing Tornado. Timpo, Petroupetrov and veteran Massini Sunset could also play a part but Kilcascan has struggled in less competitive affairs of late and Tara Tavey's Exeter victory came over hurdles, though she races off the same mark here. Absolute Shambles is potentially well treated but rarely wins nowadays.
