TRIBAL PATH has completed a double on heavy ground and though he has never won from a mark this high a hat-trick beckons against mainly out of sorts opposition. Fast In The Wind has had 13 starts on the all-weather without winning and he's been well beaten on his two starts over this trip. Jackie Ellis is another maiden on the surface while Koybig, one of the few here with scope, probably needs further. Ishebayorgrey usually performs well here but is 7lb higher than his last victory and hasn't looked at his best on his last couple of starts. Falcao showed potential here last October and didn't act on heavy going at Leopardstown on his reappearance while Maronella is back on her favourite surface after also failing to act in the mud.
