Jocular was having his first start for almost a year when a good fourth in a Limerick maiden last month, though makes his handicap debut with a big weight. MOZETTA (NAP) has been brought along quietly by Shay Barry who was rewarded when she broke her duck in a Dundalk maiden last month. She looks the type to go on to better things and, with Pat Smullen on board again, looks the one to be on. Park Ranger is better over hurdles these days and Galway is likely to be on the agenda again while Viaduct Joey is better over further, though he did perform well over 1m2f at Dundalk last time. Pushkar disappointed over a mile at Gowran after her victory over that trip at Limerick a few days earlier but Water Sprite may be capable of reversing places with Aussie Guest on their recent run at Cork.
