Page One Two Nine, a winner between the flags on good ground, has operated entirely in testing conditions under Rules will be suited by tonight's trip and going. Ordinary Man was strongly fancied for a Tipperary maiden recently after a very good run at Leopardstown but let supporters down badly with a poor display and is best watched for now. Rivage D'Or landed a French 'bumper' on his debut and has run some fine races in defeat over hurdles for Dessie Hughes but his penalty won't make things easy. BABY BE MINE's third place behind Our Gar at Navan in March was given a boost when the winner scored subsequently at Punchestown and though Edward O'Grady's charge pulled up at Cork he floundered in the mud and will be more at home on tonight's ground. Ballinahow Lady ran well behind Playboy Luke at Gowran and this Balingarry point-to-point winner is beginning to get her act together over hurdles.
