Ostatnia has the beating of Well Done Me at the weights, though the latter arrives in better form after a second at Tipperary. But she had earlier finished behind Knoxville Bullet on the all-weather at Dundalk so the latter can figure. Eisenhower drops back in trip after a modest debut effort over 7f at Gowran recently but ARANER makes more appeal. Dermot Weld's colt was only beaten a head over the minimum trip at Navan last time and, though returning from a lengthy absence, Pat Smullen prefers him to stablemate Rank.
