Stronger Than Me has won on all types of ground and is on exactly the same mark as when successful over the course and distance in October so he should give Gary Halpin a good ride. Jocular is still a maiden and has yet to tackle fast conditions but Glassatura has slowly come down the weights since scoring at Dundalk in October. Tennesse Waltz has been narrowly beaten in three starts at Dundalk and makes his handicap debut but Annagh Haven could find this on the short side as her only victory in 27 starts came over half-a-mile further. This looks the right trip and ground for MIDFIELD GENERAL (NAP) to finally lose his maiden tag. His best run to date came when beaten a short-head over slightly shorter on very fast going here in August and this will be the first time subsequently he's had those conditions.
