Another very tough heat to fathom and the very consistent Samollie only misses out on the vote due to a wide draw. Ferryview Place was drawn 3 when scoring over the C&D last month but stall 14 gives him a much more difficult task this time. LIFT THE GLOOM, who was caught close home in that latter event, has since run well at Wexford and with her better draw here can reverse the form and gain her second victory over the C&D. Big Bad Billy Bob is well berthed and generally competes at a high level. He was only beaten a head on his only run on Polytrack and is reasonably treated in this grade.
