The softer the ground the better for recent Gowran winner On The Loose, who will get a good ride from Colin Keane and has only been raised 3lb. Waterloo Sunrise, who was beaten just a length into fourth that day, finished strongly and it should be close between the pair this time. Marc Monaghan is a promising young rider and his mount Refuse To Sell has dropped to a lowly handicap mark and ran well at Dundalk last Friday but it's about time LANDSDOWNE was losing his maiden tag and this looks a good opportunity. Tracey Collins' charge reappeared with a very good run behind Bankroll at Limerick and jockey Megan Carberry has been making a name for herself over the winter.
