Donatis Comet completed a hat-trick in bumpers last summer but has been finding it tough going under Flat Rules. NO SUCH NUMBER was having his first start for almost a year when a close fifth over 1m4f at Dundalk last month and, with that under his belt, can gain his first success. The French recruit Sweet Solitude has shown nothing in two runs for new connections and was a long way behind the selection at Dundalk while it's difficult to work up enthusiasm for the remainder, though Bright Light City has shown a glimmer of ability over hurdles.
