There appears to be only two that matter in this. After winning a Limerick maiden, MEDIA NARANJA finished a close third in a Grade 3 handicap at Cheltenham. The winner of that contest franked the form shortly after off a 7lb higher mark and Gordon Elliott’s filly gets 14lb today from the Killarney winner Custom Of The Sea, taking into account Corey McGovern’s claim. The latter looks the danger, however, even though Your Honor has his sights lowered. He beat Wayne R Walker on the Flat at Sligo last summer.
