Clifftop had dropped to his lowest ever mark when beating a big field at Leopardstown on Thursday which has earnt him a 6lb penalty. However, he'd already been dropped 1lb and Nathan Crosse claims 5lb so he's running off the same mark. Runner-up DUQUESA BEACH was caught in the dying strides over that 1f shorter trip but Siobhan Rutledge may hang on to her mount a bit longer here and the positions can be reversed. Prime Chief, a winner at Cork in October, reappeared to land a Down Royal handicap in good style though an 8lb rise makes this tougher while Rodney Bay, who looked very progressive when scoring at Limerick, can't have been right back there last month.
