Belarusian had shown nothing before a much better effort at Leopardstown last week and Donnachta O'Brien's booking is interesting. Rightdownthemiddle has been chasing and has never won on the Flat though he did run well over this trip at Bellewstown last month when Byron Beauty was behind. Ondamoura is a maiden on Turf but has finished runner-up on numerous occasions, including behind tonight's rival Bobskier on fast ground at Fairyhouse, and is well enough treated to get into the frame again. The three-year-old NORTHERN SKY has been steadily improving and came good over 1m2f on soft ground at Sligo for which he's been raised 6lb. This represents a big step-up in trip but connections must be confident he stays and he can complete a double.
