Young Fitzy hadn’t shown much before landing a moderate maiden at Tramore but starts off in handicaps from a lowly mark. BIG KING won a Navan handicap in November then ran well in two subsequent handicaps before finding trouble in-running at Fairyhouse in April. Barry Connell will have him straight for this and he can double his winning tally. Andratx has had plenty of experience and had a couple of runs on the Flat since falling at Killarney in May. Thousand Tears looks a major threat if replicating his run when 150/1 chance in a Tipperary Grade 3 earlier this month as he was still there when falling at the second last. Limerick maiden winner Awkwafina is the youngest in the line-up and still has the scope to do better.
