Lustown Baba beat Cara's Company narrowly over this trip at Cork then made all and battled on over 7f at Naas on Sunday. A 6lb penalty makes this more difficult and the latter has a chance to reverse the form on 2lb better terms. IN FROM THE COLD can take this as he won over an extended 5f at Sligo and has been racing over longer trips, including in a strong nursery at Naas on Sunday when he had Not Now Zeb behind. Gold Brocade was receiving 4lb from Lustown Baba when beaten four lengths at Cork so has to be considered on 9lb better terms while Garsman led for a long way over the 5f track here two weeks ago and is another to consider.
