Ask The Leader beat Alexharwill just over a length in this last year but the latter has much the better of the weights here and should have no problems reversing the form. Darkest Hour wasn't beaten far here last time but is 0-19 and though Jazz Ranger ran very well at Tramore last time a strike-rate of 2-58 doesn't inspire confidence. I Don't Get It is another infrequent winner while Miss Louise gained her first placed effort at Sligo. HAPPAUGUE, a dual all-weather winner, had shown nothing over timber before a much better run at Bellewstown last week where he was beaten less than two lengths. He's been raised 2lb but can gain his first success over timber.
