This is complicated by Skontonovski, Stormy Jenn and Red Heel all being engaged here yesterday along with reserves Mokhalad and Crystal Dawn. The top pair arrive with 6lb penalties but Meishar's Dundalk victory was in an apprentice race when Luke McAteer couldn't claim. IS THAT LOVE's success at Listowel last week came under a 7lb claimer and today's partner gets an extra 3lb so he should again take care of runner-up Earls and can complete a double. Dusty Winds didn't appear to enjoy soft ground at Cork on Tuesday after beating a subsequent winner at Gowran while Trueba has been looking a few pounds high after his victory at Limerick in June. However, the latter has Frankie Dettori's presence in the saddle so better can be expected. Jamie Spencer may get a tune out of Tipperary Moon and though course and distance winner Castletownshend was behind the selection at Listowel he hould get closer on the revised terms.
