Iamastartoo was very consistent throughout last season and though still a maiden after eleven starts over timber he should find a race soon. Arctic Sofia made a successful reappearance over the track and trip last May so the lack of a recent run shouldn't be a problem while Millyinthemiddle is one to note on her handicap debut. Fight For Love ploughed through the mud to score at Fairyhouse in December so some rain would aid his cause but DAWSON'S COTTAGE just failed to make a successful handicap debut on yielding ground at Punchestown before finding heavy going against him at Fairyhouse. The latter has the scope to do better and may be good enough.
