Ondamoura won this a year ago and though he hasn't won subsequently he's gone close on several occasions including in stronger handicaps than this so don't rule out another big run. REDDOT DANCER stayed on strongly to land a course and distance handicap last month so it was a surprise when he reverted to 1m2f a couple of weeks ago. He was finishing well in that race and, as that was only his ninth race, he has more to offer and can get back on the winning trail. Creeping Ivy is another lightly-raced type and she's been running really well since returning from a long break. Tony Martin's filly would be suited by a strong gallop and looks a big threat. Penelope Pitstop is 0-27 but Sixtyfiveroses produced easily her best run to date at Navan last week and a similar effort would see her go close from her lowly mark.
