Six-times Flat winner Still Standing won over hurdles at Gowran a couple of weeks ago while Phoenix Cowboy has won three of his last five and has only been raised 2lb for last month's Bellewstown victory. REBELLITO got the softer ground he needs at Listowel and came home a convincing winner from today's rival Yafordadoe, who then won at Tipperary. Some rain would aid the former's cause though he gets the vote in a very competitive handicap. Citronnade's hat-trick bid was foiled in Group 3 company at Deauville but she'll be happier back in handicap company while Pin Your Hopes had been running well before landing a Dundalk handicap last week but Powerful Aggie has gone up 9lb for her victory at Killarney.
