Another tough handicap for punters to fathom. Oxalido ran very well behind Take A Shot at Roscommon but prefers some give. Sorted, who had been out of sorts over fences, was clear when falling five out in that event and has his jumping problems while the potentially useful Coole Avenue reverts to hurdles after falling twice over fences. Blue Vic appeared to enjoy dropping back to the minimum trip at Down Royal but SISTER STEVE looks the one to be on as, though her success at Kilbeggan was also over 2m, she should have little difficulty with the extra and hasn't had much racing. Seaside Shuffle may just be a few pounds high after a comfortable success at Wexford in June and Killogan Lass was engaged at Downpatrick yesterday.
