Mustadrik completed a hat-trick earlier in the summer but has struggled subsequently from his revised mark, though he ran a bit better at Down Royal on Friday. Feel The Air scored here in March then finished a very close second in two subsequent runs on the track before not taking to Kilbeggan. She's a massive 18lb higher than that victory and will do well to see off HURRY KITTY, who followed up her easy victory at Wexford with a fair run from a 7lb higher mark on very testing ground at Sligo. Don Vincenzo hasn't shown much in tough handicaps after his maiden victory though this sort of grade should prove more to his liking.
