None of these arrive in good form including Cadeaux Fax, whose best recent runs have been on very fast ground, conditions he certainly won't find here. Indubitably will like the going and though he's had very little racing recently should have come on for his run at Kilbeggan earlier this month. Didn't He Do Well is on a 1lb lower mark than when successful at Wexford last August which is hardly surprising as he's been beaten out of sight subsequently. SIR LOUJAY showed his first sign of ability on soft ground at Roscommon a month ago and gets the vote as he won't need to have made much progress to take this moderate event.
