All of these are making their handicap debuts. Evasive Power gets top weight courtesy of a neck victory over Silver Service at Navan in May and a very good second behind a useful prospect here last month. The latter has a 5lb pull which should enable her to turn the tables though she doesn't appear to have made the same progress. Facethepuckout ran his best race to date when staying on over this trip at Leopardstown while Riding The Storm didn't stay a mile at Bellewstown after a couple of decent runs in maidens. Urban Light has shown potential though another furlong wouldn't go amiss but a chance is taken on CUBAN SURFER despite being 4lb out of the handicap. Jim Bolger's filly didn't get the run of the race at Gowran last time or she would have finished very much closer and been rated higher.
