Casela Park and Rambling Dancer have decent form on polytrack but have something to prove on turf. Gracchus has been in good form over hurdles and looks well handicapped back on the flat though this is a massive drop in trip. Irish Reels' only success came on heavy going and she was expected to go well at Killarney on soft ground last time as she started favourite. She led for much of the way in the mile event and should go well over today's shorter trip. CINNIN OIR gained her first victory in a Limerick handicap last month but couldn't quite manage to repeat that form when 6lbs higher on a return visit a week later. She should be ridden closer to the pace this time and gets the vote to return to winning ways.
