Recent Fairyhouse winner Westy Fox missed a better opportunity at the abandoned Gowran but is on the upgrade and should make a bold bid to defy a 7lb rise. FREE THOUGHT had shown a glimmer of ability at Naas in November and was well supported on a return visit the following month. She won with a bit in hand and, though carrying a big weight for her handicap debut, can complete a double. Ragin Cajun went up 13lb for scoring at Down Royal and though running well at Fairyhouse next time was beaten a long way there last month. Castle Town House came from a long way behind when runner-up over 2m3f at Naas while Secret Cargo has dropped to a fair mark. Doldido produced his best run for some time at Clonmel and Mick Winters' grey can make his presence felt.
