CATLEEN was making her debut for Willie Mullins when just failing to concede lumps of weight to Spring Wine over the minimum trip at Tramore and, as the longer distance will be very much in her favour, she can go one better. Winning point-to-pointer Dog Barrel Hill had been showing very little over fences before making a winning debut over timber when well supported over 2m5f here last month. Satwa King scored over the minimum trip here last month and was made a short-priced favourite to follow-up under a penalty two days later but flopped. That could have come too soon and he's much better than he showed there. Fair Of Cappamore makes his handicap debut with plenty to do while Bonifacio is 9lb higher than for his latest success. Black Zorro did better when dropped to the minimum trip here last time but looks a threat from his lowly position in the handicap.
