BLAIRMAYNE is 2-3 around here and loves fast ground. He also goes well at the Curragh and though half-a-length behind Half Nutz at Naas can take care of that rival on this going. Independent Missy had been racing at Dundalk before reverting to Turf at Navan and staying on strongly to lead close home over that extended 5f. Today's trip will be ideal so she has to be respected while Mogwli has won around here on fast ground and is steadily dropping to a winnable mark. It's rare to see a Ballydoyle entry at the foot of an ordinary handicap and Swiss Ace has been racing in stronger company since making a winning debut at Tipperary a year ago. Fastnet Crown was headed in the final strides over 7f at Cork so should be suited by the drop in trip.
