HEARTFUL, a winner over a mile at Dundalk, has looked in need of further on his two subsequent starts on Turf and this fits the bill. Military Hill won a claimer over a mile here last month but is yet to prove he stays this far but course and distance winner Niven has no problems with the trip and is 7lb lower than his last winning mark. Dundalk winner Adieux would have a fine chance on that sort of form but has been a disappointing favourite in her last two starts. Both New Direction and Light That would have to enter the reckoning if getting a run from their reserve spots.
