Tony Martin holds a strong hand with Explosive Boy and Sil Ver Klass. The former has shown ability in maidens and makes his handicap debut while the latter had dropped to a lowly mark when narrowly beaten at Navan and is just 3lb higher. PEACE PARTY survived a very bad last-fight mistake at Thurles and still won with plenty in hand. He has a 9lb rise to contend with but can go in again. Ever So Cool scored for Dan Skelton at Uttoxeter and it shouldn't be long before she gets on the scoresheet for Gordon Elliott but Mastermind's two hurdles victories came in 2017/18. We'll Go Again is better than he showed at Gowran and I Sea The Moon would have to be considered if getting a run from her reserve spot after a much-improved effort at Clonmel.
