Show And Go has an excellent record here and it would be no surprise to see a return to form from Henry De Bromhead’s nine-year-old. Ri An Rian has had a break but has shown ability and remains open to further improvement. Sunset Sadie was a wide-margin winner at Clonmel last month but couldn’t cope with a 9lb rise at Limerick last Monday. This looks a good opportunity for the four-year-old A PLACE APART (NAP) to record a first victory. Showing up well prior to a break, he caught the eye on his return to action at Wexford and has been dropped a further pound since.
