BUBBLY BELLINI had Russian Soul half-a-length behind over 5f at Cork on Friday and has a penalty to carry but his young rider's claim is a major bonus and if turning out quickly can confirm the form and take this. Don't Bother Me returns to Niall Moran after a spell with Marco Botti where he ran superbly in top handicaps and at Group level without managing to win. In Salutem has been in good form since reappearing at Dundalk in March though he's 9lb higher than his last winning mark. Captain Cullen is gradually returning to form and is just 3lb higher than when successful here in August. Kimbay won four times after September last year - three of them at Dundalk. She's facing stronger opposition here and is 7lb higher than her last victory but is probably still on the upgrade.
