Mega Mindy arrives with a 5lb penalty for scoring over 2m2f at Limerick on Saturday having earlier been beaten 6l behind SMITHSCORNER over 2m4f at Wexford. He's run well over this course and distance but the winner looks better suited by the trip and can defy a 9lb rise. Sizing Solution had Holly Flight 8l behind when runner-up to King's War at Wexford and there doesn't look any reason for a form reversal while the hunter-chaser Myrons was well beaten on his handicap debut on the latter track last month.
