DONATIS COMET is taken to make it third time lucky having found one too good in both starts over hurdles to date. The form of his latest second at Sligo is working out and he'll handle today's likely fast ground. Run For Firth posted his best effort over timber so far when third at Tramore and has the beating of Ittimetogo while Lady Bennett finished well ahead of Top Of The Town and Lisduane when runner-up at Ballinrobe last month. Parkers Mill is a decent handicapper on the Flat at his best and makes his hurdling debut today.
