Master Speaker and TENNESSEE WILDCAT share the same official rating but the former has struggled since winning over a mile at Killarney earlier and the latter is preferred. Ger Lyons' charge faced a tough task in a premier handicap at Leopardstown last time but had gone close over today’s trip at the same track before that and gets the vote at this lower level. Grove Hill beat Eastern Racer in a claimer at Sligo a week ago but has a tough task at the weights, as do both Scotts Honor and Never Rains, but High Street Lady could figure.
