Marco Monaco is in here for the maximum claiming price and has to give plenty of weight away. A third place in a heavy-ground Navan maiden was the best he could do last year and he's been well beaten in two recent starts. He'll be conceding 13lb to SECRET SAUCE and Fozzy Stack's charge has performed well enough in three handicaps this season to suggest a race of this nature is within his capabilities. Redshore City will have found 5f too sharp after finishing second in a 7f Dundalk claimer. Allworknoplay didn't run badly in a Cork maiden and should have come on for the experience.
