Aunt Audrey is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but does better on much quicker ground. Resurrected Duke was narrowly beaten three times before starting favourite at Fairyhouse where a bad mistake when travelling nicely cost him his chance. He's on the same mark and should get into contention without troubling KLASSY KAY, who is likely to be a warm order. Having her first start for Willie Mullins in a handicap on the latter track, she had no problems landing the odds and though hit with a 15lb rise should complete a double. No Grey Area's started at huge prices in maidens but came in for strong support on his handicap debut over 2m4f here where he wasn't beaten far after travelling well. Mattie's Mountain has been well backed several times and finally justified the support at Fairyhouse so would be respected if getting a run from his first reserve spot.
