Grey Waters scored over fences at Roscommon three weeks ago and is likely to find this on the short side. Her stable companion Easter Orchid makes her handicap debut having shown up well over shorter in maidens but Walkabout is 12lb higher than his victory at Limerick in April. MALBAS has steadily improved and though his latest effort at Leopardstown came over 1m6f he was in tough for most of the way so dropping down shouldn't pose a problem. Conamara Handshake has been staying on over shorter so could make the necessary improvement to get competitive.
