Winning point-to-pointer Keep On Track has won a couple of times over regulation fences but never over anything as short as this. EL MONDO is inconsistent but keeps threatening to win a race and produced his best effort for some time at Naas last month behind today's rival Reality Dose. A strong gallop and testing ground are what the winner requires but a 7lb rise looks a bit harsh and he may not be up to confirming the form. Mark Me Up weakened quickly in that latter event but Take A Shot has won over hurdles and fences on this track and would have to be a threat if fit enough after a long break as he's reasonably treated.
