That's Not Me had been running well in better company before landing a Fairyhouse handicap on Tuesday for which he's penalised 6lb. Sassy Dancer attempted to make all over a mile on her handicap debut at Gowran and wasn't headed until inside the final furlong but Never Back Down was staying on strongly over 7f here last week and could find this on the short side. ARNHEM was just caught for second in that latter event having pulled hard early. This should be his trip and he can get off the mark with Gavin Ryan a very positive booking. Fit For Function was engaged in the 3.20 at Listowel yesterday.
