MR SOCIAL gained his only success over 2m4f on good ground and has continued to race over much further than this. He's now been beaten three times off this mark so looks vulnerable though this is a poor race so he gets another chance. Brilliant Question, who is 0-26, ran much better at Limerick last time but Virtual Oscar, who was making progress last year, hasn't run since last September and has changed stables. Not Before Time has shown potential in maidens and makes her handicap debut but Robindevidastar's two victories have been over much further.
