Presenting Lad got off the mark at the 18th time of asking over the track and trip last month and a 5lb rise isn't insurmountable. Clonmel maiden winner Barbaha Queen had an engagement in the 2.35 at Tramore yesterday but UNANSWERED is in such good form that he can defy a big rise in the weights. Tony Martin's charge has completed a hat-trick on the Flat and over timber and, though 13lb higher than his easy victory at Punchestown, can go in again. Gondor returned from a very long break to be beaten narrowly at Wexford in May while Temptationinmilan has been a beaten favourite in his last three starts though not beaten far.
