ONDAMOURA ran very well behind Creeping Ivy last month and the winner has gone in again. A strike-rate of 1-31 is off-putting but he's surprisingly been dropped 2lb for that last run which makes him look an attractive proposition to double his tally. Tap Focus, who finished close behind in third, was having only her second start on the surface so there should be little between them again. Carraigin Aonair has performed well here in the past and beat a huge field at Leopardstown last month though he's since been well beaten over hurdles. Rock On Rosie did well to chase home the in-form New Direction last week and though that was over 1m2f she's equally at home over tonight's trip. Spirit Of Paris hasn't had much experience but was noted staying on over 1m2f at the Curragh in September and has more scope than most.
