Cluan Dara is a heavy-ground performer who has run really well in those conditions on his last two starts. His experience may be enough to see off Allardyce, who has done well in bumpers and won't have a problem with the going. Dream Baie attracted good support in a Sligo bumper but didn't come up to scratch though his pedigree is all about jumping. GETAWAY KATIE showed a bit of potential in bumpers and made a promising start over hurdles at Cork a fortnight ago. She receives allowances here and with Conor Brassil taking another 5lb off can get off the mark.
