Johann Bach has only won at Dundalk but he's run well enough on Turf and is 9lb lower so should get into the mix. Focas Mor has yet to win in 19 starts but was placed from much higher marks last season and looks a threat. GUN SHOOT scored from 3lb higher over the track and trip a year ago and bounced back to form in no uncertain terms in a Sligo claimer. He'll be difficult to beat in that sort of mood and may have enough in hand to see off Flowing Air, another long-standing maiden who just can't get her head in front. Bomber Jackson would be a threat if getting a run from his reserve spot.
