Slade Runner made a promising debut for Ado McGuinness at Dundalk and Colin Keane's presence suggests connections mean business. Ohio State, who is related to several high-class winners, has only had three runs and there's every chance he's starting off on a very lenient mark. FUNNY LITTLE WAYS (NAP) improved markedly earlier this year, winning easily at Dundalk, and though 10lb higher is expected to run a big race so gets the nod. Lady Maura will be suited by stepping up in trip while Ioranta is the type to make good progress this season having had just three runs.
