Mattie's Mountain started his winning run on a 23lb lower mark but had a bit in hand when scoring over 2m3f at Limerick and should make a bold bid to defy the extra. CAMPEADOR (NAP) has been racing in much better company, however, including when placed at Limerick last time. He's on the same mark here but his rider's claim can see him score again. Thunderosa ran well here and at Navan before landing a Punchestown handicap by 12 lengths so he's an obvious threat to all despite a 9lb rise. Visionarian, a winning point-to-pointer, has been running over trips too short in novice and maiden company and makes his handicap debut off what could prove a lenient mark. Three-times winner Thereisnodoubt will have come on for his run at Navan in December, his first since an impressive success there last March.
