Ucanchoose started favourite for a similar event at Cork won by Patrickswell at the beginning of the month but ran poorly. IBELIEVEINMIRACLES finished a close fourth that day with Ability N Deliver and As You Like It not too far behind. The former is still a maiden after 16 starts but recent efforts suggest she should be winning soon and this could be her turn. San Jose City was sent to Redcar for a minor handicap last month and duly obliged. A 5lb rise looks just about right and now that he has found his form he should go well again. Primalova has been racing over further and showed good pace when a very close fourth behind Doorock over six furlongs at Naas last time when The Hamptons, who started favourite after a fine run there on his previous start, was well beaten.
