RANDALLS UR POET was unplaced in three starts as a two-year-old but was placed in nine out of 10 starts over hurdles last winter including at Grade 3 level. He looks a blot on the handicap off 46 and the more rain the better. Solar Heat goes for a hat-trick after a very easy victory over the track and trip last month. She's been raised 12lb but that's unlikely to prevent another big run. Greengage stepped up to 1m3f for the first time at Killarney and ran her best race to date while Dixie Highway scored over slightly shorter on soft ground at Tipperary and has run well over hurdles subsequently. Magic Sea didn't enjoy being dropped back to 1m1f at Galway after staying on over 1m4f the previous day.
