Not What It Seems was probably beaten by a very smart recruit at Tramore and though 13 lengths behind the winner should make a bold bid here. Reverse Polarity was 5 lengths behind and looks held but ERINS BENEFIT has gone well in both starts behind useful winners and can get off the mark. John Kiely's mare finished just behind Sonny John when they occupied the places behind subsequent winner Dysart Diamond at Limerick but the runner-up had the benefit of previous experience.
