Superlike had just one run on the Flat at Dundalk last March when well beaten and has joined Gordon Elliott. RODNEY BAY hasn't been running badly in handicaps and this shouldn't take much winning as Downtown Queen's form tailed off badly after a narrow defeat at Clonmel in October. Brown Monday never got close when tackling 2m1f at Tramore but stayed on so should be suited by the extra while Bella Bliss has shown some potential in bumpers and makes her hurdles debut.
