Sullane Hill completed a track double in November, scoring over this trip and 2m4f, but couldn't handle a 10lb rise on a hat-trick bid. No Grey Area's had BLANKETONTHEGROUND (NAP) just over a length back when getting up close home at Limerick but the latter has a pull in the weights and the slightly shorter trip is to her advantage. She can reverse the form and take this though Flindt gained a surprise victory at Fairyhouse earlier this month and has only been raised 4lb. Strange Notions landed a maiden here in March and was in touch when falling at the last on a return visit last month. If none the worse, normal progress can see her in the frame while Whatsnotoknow reverts to hurdles after a fine run behind the odds-on Franco De Port over fences here with the remainder a long way behind.
