Spot Fine ran well in March when returning to action after a long break but his two latest efforts have been poor including over fences last time. CINDER RUA has performed in better company and though it remains to be seen how she acts on this quicker ground her overall form gives her the edge. Portrade showed his first sign of ability here last month and wouldn't need to improve much to take a hand while winning bumper Massini's Brook should have benefited from his first start over hurdles at Cork. Cousin Bill looks best of the remainder.
