Man In Black has been running well from around this mark in similar handicaps and will be difficult to keep out of the frame. Macnas went up 10lbs for beating Goldarover here in May but wasn't disgraced behind Desert Romance at Killarney on her only subsequent start. Indus Valley has been struggling at the weights after his victory at Fairyhouse last year and deserves a break while Dream Dream Dream, who has been staying on strongly from tonight's mark over shorter on her two latest starts, is another to consider. REGRESSA A MI was making her handicap debut at Fairyhouse last week on just her fourth start but ran a superb race to get within half-a-length of the prolific La Chassotte and would probably have won but for hanging in the final stages. She gets the vote here as there looks more to come.
