After winning the charity Flat race at the Punchestown Festival, Manomine has found a new lease of life, making all in two handicaps at Downpatrick in-between a poor run at Tramore. He's 8lb higher than his last victory so this looks tougher and with Conor McNamara's claim to help, EIMEAR (NAP) may have his measure. Still a maiden over hurdles, she couldn't have gone much closer at Ballinrobe and with a strong gallop guaranteed her stamina should come into play. Duke's Girl has gone 16 starts over timber without winning but was having just her second start for Gordon Elliott when third at Punchestown and she should be losing her maiden tag soon. Ocean Glandore is now with a trainer in form but he's on a very long losing run.
