It's a surprise to see Croi Corcra dropping down to the minimum trip having won over an extended 2m5f at Tramore and been placed over three miles earlier. WOMALKO is also dropping down for her reappearance having won over 2m2f on testing ground here last December but he has more scope than most of these and can go in again. Made In The Woods' only success to date came over three miles at Limerick in March so he's another who could find this on the short side. Midnight It Is ran poorly when well supported at Listowel as did Freddie Robdal at Tramore.
