Seriatim hasn't won for two years but has dropped to a fair mark as a consequence and produced his best run for some time over this course and distance last month. Railway Tommy and Railway Zira both ran well enough at a similar level last time to suggest they can get involved while After Aspen produced a surprise when landing a maiden here last month and makes his handicap debut. Luke Dempsey, fresh from his triumph at Cheltenham on Friday, rode his father's ANOTHERLADY to a shock victory in a Fairyhouse handicap and though his mount is 9lb higher his claim reduces the burden and a double looks on the cards. Samanntom looks a major threat as he followed a comfortable victory at Thurles with an even better run in higher grade at Punchestown and is still on a very handy mark.
