Johnny Feane won the first running of this a year ago and LESS OF THAT looks the type to do better on her handicap debut so is handed a tentative vote. Buddha Boy was very well supported when making most over 6f last month, when Lady Rosebud, Rounding and Pronounced were behind. He should have little difficulty with the extra furlong and get into contention though Joseph O'Brien, who trains the latter, also has a chance with Sweetasever, a winner at Gowran in August and making her debut on the surface.
