NAOISE was having only his fifth start when narrowly beaten by Lord Kenmare over a mile last week and connections won't be disappointed with just a 2lb rise. He can go one better though Cailin Coillteach wasn't far away in third and is a couple of pounds better off. Kalacan looks a threat as he's been placed over 6f and 1m here the last twice and his only success on turf came at this trip. Elusive Express had been running well before finding 1m3f too far last week and is well enough weighted to make her presence felt but Awareness has been staying on over a mile and may find this on the short side.
