A low-grade handicap in which DEE SPRINTER (NAP) can finally get off the mark. Reg Roberts' charge has only had three runs for the yard and ran well enough on ground softer than ideal at Navan last time. He was beaten 5 lengths by Theoneyouare on his first start for the yard at Naas but was conceding 4lb and will be receiving 10lb here. Billyfairplay, four-times a winner on the all-weather, is 0-15 on Turf though that's unlikely to prevent another good effort under regular pilot Joey Sheridan. Crystal Dawn went up 7lb for scoring at Dundalk and couldn't cope at Navan while Bay Of Skaill's only victory in 29 starts came on the beach at Laytown in 2018.
