Cappadocia is 5-34 around here and has won from higher marks. He got nothing like a clear run last time and should do make a bold bid. Tyrconnell went up 6lb for scoring at Laytown and though running well the last twice hasn't quite been able to cope. Footsteps At Dawn was sent to Wolverhampton to land a handicap in October but couldn't handle 6lb extra back here a few days later. PARIS DUVET has yet to win but led for a long way when beaten a length into fourth over a mile here at the end of October. She's surprisingly been dropped 2lb and can lose her maiden tag. Clonville has only won on Turf but she's performed quite well the last twice here and is on such a lowly mark that she has to be respected.
