Paddy The Celeb has only run once on the surface but his lone victory came on good ground over this trip and he's expected to go well under the promising Marc Monaghan. Megan Carberry was on board for two of Shake The Bucket's three victories on the track earlier this year and takes the ride again. Her mount has ben slowly dropping in the weights and showed enough at Laytown last time to suggest it won't be long before she goes in again. PARRAMATTA is nothing if not versatile having won a 2m bumper on fast ground and dropping to less than half that distance to score on sand at Laytown. This is her first start in a handicap and with 16-year-old Charlie Elliott again doing the steering she should continue her winning ways. Lady Bennett, three times a winner on Turf, is much better than she's shown on her two latest starts. Maximo was returning from a year's absence when landing some nice bets here last April so any market move is worth noting.
