CAPTURE THE ACTION has now won three times over this trip since October in all kinds of ground conditions and, though 6lb higher than her victory at Wexford, looks certain to give a good account so gets the nod in a tricky handicap. Amor Verdadero usually races over further and is very consistent so should be thereabouts with Jordan Gainford's claim a major plus. The lightly-raced Nodoubtaboutthat scored at Kilbeggan last summer and has the scope to do better while Strange Notions has won a maiden over this trip, though has looked as though she may need further in later starts. Paula's Prayer was in fine form last summer and had a run at Dundalk in January while Irregularheartbeat can't have been right when well beaten at Limerick after going close at Clonmel. Trees Valley hails from a yard going well and is one to note.
