Several have decent claims in this including Ace Of Diamonds, who continues to slip down the weights. Pari Passu has been knocking on the door lately off today’s mark and should be thereabouts again, though is 0-10 on Turf. Schoolboy Error won twice at Dundalk in the spring but does most of his racing on the all-weather. Look Closer won twice over hurdles at Cork last year and was the subject of a gamble on that track on his reappearance, though well beaten. MADEMOISELLE PENNY blew the start when behind Pari Passu and Happy Company at Fairyhouse last month but was noted making late headway and can reverse that form today and land this.
