Blaze Trailer has now had 33 starts over timber without winning but the lightly-raced Sun Fisher makes his handicap debut from a fair mark and is one to note. GIANT SEQUOIA overcame a last-flight blunder to score over the trip at Clonmel and he's progressing well enough to follow up from a 7lb higher mark. Dancing Bird, who finished fifth that day, looks held while Clouded Thoughts makes his handicap debut from a high enough mark though he produced a very good run behind Esporao at Downpatrick. Coosan Belle was raised 10lb for her Tramore victory on fast ground and couldn't handle the softer going at Listowel subsequently, while Fantastic Gold is another who was unsuited by ground with give last time and is better than that.
