Is That Love has managed six victories though mostly on testing ground or Polytrack. RICK DALTON is still a maiden but has only had five starts and has run well in the last three. He makes his handicap debut here and a mark of 79 may underestimate his ability. The three-year-old Dairerin stayed on strongly to score over this trip at Limerick and he's only been raised 3lb. Chesterton won a maiden at Down Royal and makes his handicap debut after just three runs while Ferrybank is very well handicapped on his best form and it would be no surprise to see a big run with Nathan Crosse' claim to aid his cause.
