Chillie Billie has returned from a winter in Dundalk with a cracking effort on heavy ground at Sligo but a strike-rate of 2-58 is off-putting. Intensified was a long way behind that day and then unseated his rider leaving the stalls at Killarney. Kodiak's Back may find the ground too slow, a remark that also applies to Tom Dooley, who arrives in good form after scoring over 6f at Dundalk. The lightly-raced Tithonus ran his best race so far at Cork last time but if DANDYSTEPS (NAP) can repeat her latest run at Naas, where just failing to make all over this trip on similar ground, then she should take this from her lowly mark.
