Mezajy won at Bellewstown in August and a conditional’s allowance negates a rise in the weights. He’s preferred to stablemate Samson Bill, who reverts to hurdling having won over fences at Fairyhouse in February. Grandma Dotty has been thereabouts of late along with Wild Sam and both can figure off their current marks but BEGINNINGTOGETUP is the least exposed having finished second at Clonmel when last in action and he gets the vote now handicapping for the first time. Sil Ver Klass and stable companion Acclamatio are others also making their handicap debuts.
