Marcus Callaghan has won this three times in five years so don't rule out Blue Law despite his uninspiring form figures as he won from 2lb higher at Bellewstown in July. Nidian is reasonably consistent and though the fact that he's still a maiden is a concern he's generally performed at a higher level and looks certain to go well. GERALDINES LASS has raced over longer trips since a very good third in a much better race at Cork in October and only weakened in the closing stages over 7f at Dundalk last time. She'll get a good ride from the talented Ricky Doyle and can gain her first success from what looks a fair mark. Bubbly Bellini has been going well on Polytrack but has yet to reach a place in eight starts on turf.
