This looks much more competitive than the first division. Nivek's Dream has a chance on his run behind Pur Style on this track in May but is still a maiden over fences after ten starts. The Book Thief has gone even longer without winning over the bigger obstacles and might need a confidence booster after his recent fall but it's about time another maiden, CODE DANCER, was gaining her first success under Rules and this looks her chance. She's twice run really well behind tonight's rival Breffni Gael in recent weeks but with the weights in her favour this time she's taken to prevent the latter from completing a hat-trick.
