Boris De Blae looked a very smart staying prospect when landing a Listowel maiden in September but makes his handicap debut in a very competitive heat. Monasteradenpauric has been in excellent form on testing ground but this is his first start in faster conditions but Killaro Boy won a point on good ground and beat a decent field on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse. Stolberg didn't stay three miles at Limerick and this is more his trip but in a wide-open event it's PACE AND PASSION, who has won three of her last five and loves quick ground, who is taken to defy the inevitable weight rise.
