Donagh O'Connor's claim helped ASK DAD to a narrow victory at Naas last week and wasn't on board at the Curragh when the five-year-old ran an excellent race in a better event than this on Friday. His mount has a massive weight here but once again his 7lb allowance could make the difference. Catwilldo finished third in that Naas event but was doing his best work at the finish and may find this on the short side. Blueberry Gal was having the 17th start of her career when finally getting off the mark under Ana O'Brien at Navan last month and now she's broken her duck she can claim a place again. Forebear, who was around three lengths back in fifth, has since shown good speed over an extended 6f at Limerick and can get closer.
