Satono Chevalier ran two fine races over shorter before storming away with a handicap over the trip last week for which he's penalised. He'll be difficult to beat but GORDONS AURA also won last week over hurdles and, in receipt of weight, might be good enough to complete a quick double. Miss Vizeun was racing here for just the second time and wearing a first-time visor when landing a claimer last month but will need to do better. Clever Capall showed his first sign of ability earlier this month and is likely to improve but Knocknakilla is 0-23 and Oranmore 0-12.
