After three victories in the spring, Brog Deas suffered in the weights and has continued to rise without winning. He'll be suited by more rain but on quicker ground may find VEDANI too speedy. John Oxx' colt has only raced four times and has been narrowly beaten in strong handicaps at the Curragh and Killarney recently so this looks a good opportunity as he faces quicker ground for the first time. Sulwaan looked a nice prospect for hurdling last summer but ran poorly at Down Royal in June after a long break but Fluidity is well handicapped on his close third to Brog Deas here in April and must have a chance with his rider's claim a help. Quench The Flame won at Tramore yesterday and as that was only her second start since October 2010 she must be kept on the right side.
