Waltham came here for his belated debut last month and won with plenty in hand. He has to race from the maximum rating here so this is much tougher. Esquiline has progressed with every run culminating in a convincing success in a Bellewstown maiden while Cape Bridgewater landed a Tipperary maiden in style though wouldn't want more rain. Picture Of A City has been in fine form over shorter and was staying on when narrowly beaten over 1m2f at Roscommon. RAPPAREE CHAMP made a promising debut at Sligo and put the experience to good use at Fairyhouse where he still looked green. He's racing from a mark of 82 here which may be underestimating his ability. None of the remaining trio can be ruled out in a tight event.
