Tb Broke Her has been beaten 11 times from around this mark since scoring here in February but found the minimum trip too short on her latest start. MOUNT MASADA hasn't had much experience so it was a fine effort to score over this trip on testing ground at Fairyhouse and further progress can see him complete a double. Mic Milano had dropped to his lowest-ever mark when scoring comfortably at Limerick so a 5lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run. Denis Hogan has his horses in good shape so the recent point-to-point winner Easy To Find has to be respected on her handicap debut over timber while Hannah's Lane looked a certain future winner when narrowly beaten at Thurles but disappointed when fancied to go one better at Gowran.
