Ardera Ru has shown herself to be a heavy-ground performer with a fine second over this track and trip before a convincing success at Tramore. More rain would greatly aid her cause though the vote goes to the lightly-raced SLANE HILL. Barry Connell's mare ran in two strong maidens before winning one over 2m3f at Naas then made a fine handicap debut here last month. Flying Scotsman ran well over the trip on ground quicker than ideal at Fairyhouse but easy Tipperary winner Good World found an 8lb rise too much to handle at Clonmel. Positive Thinker would be a danger to all if getting a run from his reserve spot after two narrow defeats.
