A low-grade handicap in which Lesssaidthebetter bids to shed his maiden tag at the 17th time of asking. Runner-up in three of his last four starts, he'll be thereabouts again though all eyes are likely to be on MY BOY BOB. Tony Martin's charge was ridden by an inexperienced claimer at Naas who received a ten-day ban from the stewards after her mount was staying on when the race was all over. Kevin Sexton takes over and he can steer the six-year-old home. Brilliant Question ran easily her best race to date on her handicap debut at Punchestown last week where the well supported Sienne D'or unseated her rider at the fifth. Shantou Sisu is the only course and distance winner but he's been well beaten the last twice.
