EPITAPH (NAP) has no problems with fast ground as he showed when just failing to concede 9lb to Hyperdrive over slightly shorter at Limerick and should have few problems going one better. Mearu takes a big step-up in trip after staying on over a mile at Gowran and though Kevin Manning prefers stable companion Teo's Music the former looks the more likely to enjoy this distance. Wingingit had been running well at Dundalk before landing a Navan handicap over 1m2f where he only got on top in the closing stages so he should get involved despite a 6lb rise.
