See Double You was in rude form at the back of last season but his winning run came to an end at Fairyhouse and its possible that the handicapper may finally have got his measure. THE BOYS DONT KNOW appears to have found considerable improvement since she has been dropped in trip and Arthur Goulding's mare can follow up an impressive victory at Thurles. She should confirm form with Get Off The Stage despite being 1lb worse off at the weights. Carlowsantana looked a future winner when finishing second in a decent handicap at Galway though he's been unable to run up to that form since. Ted Dolly makes his handicap debut on this occasion and the previous C&D winner should give a bold show off top weight. Man Of God wouldn't be out of this on some of his Flat form but he's struggled since switching to the winter game.
