Down Under won here just under a year ago and again last month when just getting up. He's only 4lb higher and has to be a threat to all. Buck Dancing, who finished a close third last month, has to be on the short-list on the revised terms. Useful point-to-pointer FINAL GIFT has gone up 6lb for a convincing victory over 2m6f at Tramore earlier this month and, with the longer trip in his favour, can complete a quick double. Sue Oscar makes her handicap debut from what looks a fair mark while On Fiddlers Green also has his first start in a handicap and has ben taking on some decent novices. Coolnagorna Giggs might find the ground a bit lively.
