O Fortuna had Princeton Plains behind when scoring at Punchestown in February but there's very little between the pair on these terms. Se Beag won much more easily than the narrow margin suggests at Gowran but the handicapper reacted with an 11lb rise. Tadhg is 7lb higher after his comfortable success at Tramore and this is tougher while Vivaldi finds it difficult to win here and in the UK. NEAREST THE PIN makes his handicap debut after the requisite three maiden runs in which he has shown promise on heavy ground. He's just the type Tony Martin does so well with and gets the vote with Paul Carberry booked.
