Pillar, who is very consistent but 1-47, ran a rare poor race at the Curragh but wouldn't have enjoyed the heavy conditions. Delegating is another who generally goes well though without winning and is on a tempting mark while Focus Of Attention, a Down Royal maiden winner from just five starts, has changed stables and returns after a break. Above Us Only Sky almost lost her maiden tag at Dundalk but could have done without a 4lb rise while Time Stands Still has gone very close in her last three starts on Polytrack though has never raced on Turf. COUNT OF CARABASS ran well on his reappearance and is 1lb lower than his victory at Listowel in September so gets the nod ahead of Bay Of Skaill, who hasn't run since a close second at Fairyhouse in September.
