Raggletagglegypsy had some decent form in maidens and novice events and makes his handicap debut though he doesn't appear to have been done any favours. Tough Talkin Man made most and battled on gamely to score over the C&D earlier this month and hasn't been overburdened with just 4lb extra. Coldstonesober and Tequila Lord were both behind and face stiff tasks but the veteran Banna Man remains in good form and is well handicapped compared to his chase rating. ADROPAUPEP was in excellent form on good ground last summer and though well beaten on his return from a long break at Cork last month will have found the going too soft and can get back to winning ways on this quicker terrain.
