Whaileyy looked well treated in a claimer over the track and trip a week ago and duly obliged. He's been left on the same mark and has scored from much higher on Polytrack in the UK. Antiquus was in top form at the backend of last year culminating in a sprint double around here. He hasn't done so well from his elevated handicap mark this campaign but this could be his time of year. INDIAN LANDING has won his last two starts over the track and trip, the latest in December from 5lb higher. He was rated 15lb higher than Chillie Billie when beaten 5l by him at Listowel last time and can gain revenge on the winner, who has never won on the surface in 13 attempt. Have A Nice Day was in very good form around this time a year ago and has continued to perform with credit on Turf. Kiss The Stars is a big threat as she has run well in all three starts on the track and with Connor King's claim to aid her cause she looks well handicapped. Ask Dad won easily over 6f here a week ago and didn't get the run of the race when favourite over this trip on Friday though he's now 12lb higher than last week.
