Prisoner's Dilemma is back on exactly the same mark as when landing this a year ago though Donagh O'Connor claimed 3lb then. Helen De Pourtales looked an imminent winner when a close third last month but disappointed when well supported a fortnight ago. Eglish went up 7lb for scoring here last month and never really got into contention a week ago but CRYSTAL DAWN is running well enough to halt a losing run. She led at this trip when tackling a mile here last month and Gary Carroll takes over from an apprentice. Castletownshend is 1-34 but is very well handicapped at his best while Geological, attempting his ninth course victory and 16th in all, has dropped to his lowest mark for exactly five years when he scored from stall one under a 10lb claimer.
