COACH BOMBAY picks up a penalty for an emphatic victory at Dundalk on Sunday but will go up in the weights by much more than 5lb so is well in here. Noverre Princess also ran at that Dundalk meeting and was just touched off by Saint By Day. She's rated 8lb less on Turf than the all-weather so the selection will need to be at his best to see her off. Sheilas Wish came good at the 13th time of asking on Turf at Wexford but connections won't be happy with a 7lb rise while Landero has been in winning form over hurdles after arriving from Germany and looks well enough treated back on the level.
