A tough maiden to finish the evening card but it should pay to follow the top trainers. With that being said ROCKYMOUNTAINHIGH is given one more chance to break his maiden ahead of Dawn To Dance and Slade. David Wachman's son of Danehill Dancer ran behind the likes of Steinbeck last year and will not get a better opportunity to open his account. Dawn To Dusk ran well on his belated debut. The now four-year-old son of Selkirk ran well and with improvement expected can get in the shake up here. Ballydonnell Drive was just behind the Ox horse when they last meet. His front running style could be seen to good effect round here and the slight drop in trip will help. Slade ran really well in a good maiden when last seen and is another that should get involved. Notgonnagiveup is another to note. Previews by Declan Rix
