Nothing stands out in this though TOM DOOLEY has been running reasonably well on Turf since scoring at Dundalk last month and was beaten less than a length at Fairyhouse last time. He's only 2lb higher so is one of the more obvious candidates. Realt Eile is the only three-year-old in the line-up and Ger Lyons' filly didn't give her true running when only beating one home at Navan last week - dropping back again in distance looks a sensible ploy. Chillie Billie has the past form to figure but Botanical Lady may need her first start of the season.
