Lady Ranger is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and though she hasn't won for two years she's 26lb lower and a return to form wouldn't be a shock. ALFIRAK is running very well and only just failed to defy a 3lb rise for April's Dundalk victory at Bellewstown last month. He's been left on the same mark and can return to winning ways. Bouquet Garni has dropped to a fair mark and is best over this trip while Texas Radio led at this distance when scoring over a mile at Gowran and ran even better after an 8lb rise on a return visit. Althib was engaged in the 2.25 at Fairyhouse yesterday.
