First-time blinkers worked the oracle for Art Of America here last week when he made most over a mile and just held on. Whether they will work again is another matter and he's 5lb higher. DONT QUIT has only won once but that was on this track and he again ran well here last month so he gets the vote in a low-grade affair. Paddytheirishman had some of the worst-ever form figures over hurdles but has done very much better on the Flat and ran very well at Cork last time despite finding 7f too short. Scorpion Black has never won but was staying on over a mile on heavy going at Listowel last time while Roses Queen has shown some ability and a mark of 47 doesn't reflect her ability.
