Bar Stool Bob is still a maiden and looks a few pounds high as he was beaten 10 lengths when runner-up at Thurles. Pipe Down was beaten 18 lengths by Miley Shah at Naas so it will be interesting to see how the winner fares in the previous race. Witness Of Fashion, a winner at Fairyhouse in February over this trip, has gone well over further subsequently and though 9lb higher than for his victory he should get into the frame with Conor Maxwell's claim a bonus. SHERIKA appeared to enjoy stepping up to 3m at Limerick but has won over hurdles at this trip and, as she's 16lb lower over fences, looks well enough handicapped to complete the double.
