Boots Madden has his string in top form and URHAVINALAUGH can add to a recent success at Sligo. He's progressed with every run over timber and came with a strong late run to catch Whisky Galore that day and the third home has won subsequently. Carlowsantana doesn't win very often but produces the occasional excellent run, as he did at Galway last time, that ensures his handicap mark stays high. He's gone up 3lb for that run which may just prove too much to handle. Bulletproof was well supported at Wexford and battled to the front close home over that 2m trip so the extra furlong here will be to his advantage though the ground was very fast on that occasion. Rawnaq has been going well without winning but may need a bit further before losing his maiden tag.
