High numbers are best in big fields here so VILLA MARIA (NAP) gets the nod after her easy success at Gowran for which a 10lb hike in the weights may not be enough to prevent a follow-up. Solomons Seal made a promising comeback at Gowran while Amazing One won a Dundalk handicap over this trip before finding 6f on the sharp side there last month. Takeachancejimmy also won over the distance at Dundalk then led for a long way over a mile on a return visit but Happy Company appears to need much further. Crest Of A Wave isn't the most consistent and will be having her first start away from Dundalk.
