Arbourfield is better on the all-weather but won at Gowran in May and has continued in good form. Korbous is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and has gradually dropped to a winnable mark though he wasn't at his best when well supported at the Curragh. Dance Alone scored over a mile here last month but has looked a few pounds high from his new mark while Hitchcock, a winner for Kevin Ryan in September, has his first start for new connections after a long break. TUSH showed her first real sign of ability when staying on over 6f at Naas and, as that was only her fifth start, she has the scope to make enough progress to land this. Kodi Koh has yet to win but did much better at Fairyhouse last time. Secret Memories was engaged at Fairyhouse last night.
