So Lonely represents Dan Skelton and she's won three of her last four though steps up in class from 6lb higher. Fellow traveller Ena Baie scored with a bit in hand at Southwell though a 9lb rise makes this much more difficult. Buttons And Bows is in the same ownership as the latter and is improving steadily judging by her Wexford victory but WALKING IN MEMPHIS may be good enough in a very tricky handicap. Gavin Cromwell's mare looked a likely future winner when staying on strongly in a Clonmel handicap then easily landed a Downpatrick maiden over 2m3f. This will probably be run at a scorching pace which will play to her strengths. Emmet Mullins is already on the scorecard at the meeting and Tipperary maiden winner Dolly Dancer is much better than she showed at Bellewstown last time. Ballydunblaze was behind the selection at Downpatrick but showed the value of the form by scoring at Limerick.
