Bal De Rio has been in fine form on testing going and an 8lb rise for last week's Ballinrobe victory shouldn't prevent another big run providing the ground doesn't dry out. Mister Twist is progressing with every run and makes his handicap debut after two solid efforts at Clonmel. Killarney winner Vale Of Glory wouldn't want more rain while Fanoir has also shown his best form on quicker ground and has a long absence to overcome. GOLDEN SANDBANKS has won over hurdles, fences and on the all-weather since last summer and a run at Dundalk last month should have put him spot-on for this. She's Tobias has shown ability but hasn't run since October.
